Principles of construction and design of the large-scale ground-based systems of accumulation, storage, cooling and filling of space-rocket equipment (SRE) by liquid hydrogen and oxygen which created by JSC «Cryogenmash» since the 70th years of XX century are considered. The special attention is given to the methods of liquefaction and thermostatic control of liquid hydrogen and oxygen and their realization depending on customer's requirements. The efficiency and safety of created systems with preservation of fuel quality is provided by hydrogen and oxygen cooling on the fluid flow during filling the SRE tanks. Thermostatic control of fuel is carried out depending on the equipment features in the open, semi-closed and closed circulation circuits with use of jet and mechanical pumps. The class of thermostatic control systems, constructed on a refrigeration cycle with turboexpander, is developed for maintenance of the temperature-moisture state of medium in the instrument compartments and cooling and thermostatic control of the high-boiling fuels in storage. The systems of accumulation, storage and large-scale gasification of liquid nitrogen are developed for maintenance of the complex operating procedures. The paths of the further development of cryogenic equipment and systems of test-bench and launch complexes are outlined.
