Spacecraft Propulsion Components
Isolation Latch and Solenoid Valves
Latching and Normally Closed Solenoid Isolation Valves
These valve designs haveÌýbeen used in various space propulsion and operational systems in support ofÌýplanetary and GEO satellite applications
Dual Line Isolation Latch Valves
ÌýThis valve design utilizes a single torque motor and command signal to control two separate, hermetically sealed pressurant or propellent lines.
Single Line Isolation Latch Valves
ÌýThese valves can be used for controlling propellants and pressurization gasses. The latch valves are bi-stable, and will stay in the last (open/closed) commanded position.
Thruster Valves
Bipropellant Torque Motor Thruster Valves
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Torque Motor thruster valves have been in production for almost four decades. T/M thruster valves were originallyÌýdeveloped for the original Galileo spacecraft and for Minuteman II and III engines.
Bipropellant Solenoid Thruster Valves
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ's Bi-propellant Solenoid Thruster Valves are normally closed, single seat or series redundant seat configurations supporting thrusters up to 120N.Ìý
Monopropellant Solenoid Thruster Valves
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ offers several different solenoid thruster valves supporting monopropellant propulsion applications from 1 N to greater than 700 N. These are available in single seat or series redundant seat configurations.
Regulators and Flow Control Valves
Electric Propulsion Proportional Flow Control Valve (PFCV)
The 51E339 Proportional Flow ControlÌýValve (PFCV) is an all welded, normallyclosed, solenloid-type valve that canÌýprovide outlet flow control or pressureÌýregulation in proportion to the inputÌýcurrent.
Helium Pressure Regulator
This ºìÐÓÊÓƵ pressure regulator is aÌýseries-redundant unit designed to provide stableÌýtank pressure for propellant in a spacecraftÌýpropulsion system.Ìý
Electric Propulsion Mechanical Regulators
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ offers single stage and two stage mechanical regulators in support of electric propulsion systems.Ìý
Bang Bang Regulator
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s Bang Bang regulators are normally closed, series redundant solenoid valves that control a precise downstream pressure level over a large range of inlet pressures.
Service Valves
Fill and Drain Service Valves
These mechanically operated valves are opened/ closed by rotating an actuation nut. With a standard AN-style ground connection.
Fluid Transfer Couplings
Fluid Transfer Coupling (FTC)
The ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Fluid Transfer Coupling (FTC) Is a stainless steel, two piece design using passive and active halves to secure fluid connection and sealing.Ìý Connection of the two halves will open the flow path after the sealing engagement is established.ÌýÌý
Rolling Metal Diaphragm Tanks
Rolling Metal Diaphragm Tanks
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s rolling diaphragm tanks are fabricated from commercially available aluminum alloys providing a low-cost short leadtime alternative to titanium propellant tanks. The tanks are easily sized to meet customer specifications and are individually designed to meet pressure, temperature, and flow requirements.
