Abstract
Why Manage Propellants in Microgravity? ● Deep space missions start with mastering in-orbit propellant transfer ● In microgravity, liquid propellants don’t settle–they float ● Vapor leads to system failure, engines demand pure liquid Project Objectives ● Design Propellant Management Device to handle Liquid Oxygen (LOX) ● Develop equipment to simulate operating conditions ● Conduct quantitative tests using cryogenic simulant (water) ● Evaluate/Analyze device performance
