Flow Control Components

Flow Control Components for Microsat Propulsion and Fluid Management

Solenoid valves: 

  • From small valves suitable for 100 mN and 1 N thrusters to medium valves for 5 N thrusters; larger versions in development
  • Based on licensed NASA technology
  • TRL 8 & 9

U.S. Patent No 10,197,165 and Patent Pending; manufactured under NASA License Agreements

Fill-drain valves: One of the smallest, spaceflight-proven fill-drain valve for your propulsion system and spacecraft fluid system:

  • Spacecraft/flight half: length < 22 mm & mass < 9 g
  • Designed for ASCENT; can be used/modified for other propellants
  • Two-fault tolerant
  • TRL 9

U.S. Patent No 10,197,165 and Patent Pending; manufactured under NASA License Agreements

Flow control devices

  • Back Pressure Regulating Device
  • Sample use: steady pump outlet/thruster inlet pressure
