Integrated Propellant Storage and Feed System: FY18 Engineering Research Technical Investment Program

Abstract

This report relays the efforts conducted during FY18 to design a new type of cubesat propellant storage and feed system that could, if adopted for use by Laboratory programs, enable new types of missions. This system optimizes space for volume constrained cubesats and is intended for use on missions where a there are no viable COTS propulsion solutions. The system is currently designed for use with H2O2 propellant, but could be used with many different types of liquid monopropellant.
