Claim 0:
1. A liquid hydrogen reservoir, comprising:
a cryostatic container operable to hold liquid hydrogen;
a discharge line operable to discharge gaseous hydrogen in the cryostatic container;
a boil-off management system that includes:
a mixing chamber operable to mix the gaseous hydrogen with ambient air,
a catalyst arranged downstream of the mixing chamber and operable for a catalytic conversion of the gaseous hydrogen with the ambient air, and
an exhaust gas line arranged downstream of the catalyst and operable to discharge the gas stream to the environment,

a return line operable to connect the exhaust gas line to the mixing chamber to facilitate a return flow of at least a partial stream of the exhaust gas line into the mixing chamber; and
a boil-off valve, arranged in the discharge line, and operable to selectively open and close a flow connection of the discharge line to the boil-off management system.
