SPACECRAFT

Hypergolic Check Valves

Welded titanium check valves for spacecraft propulsion. Low mass, with integrated filtration, built for long duration missions.

LAUNCH VEHICLE

High Pressure Propellant Valves

Check valves rated to 6,000 psi for gaseous oxygen, hydrogen, and other common propellant service.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Latching Solenoid Valves

Two way, two position latching solenoid valves designed for hypergolic propellants.

03 / VALUE

The value.

Rapid delivery

UNDER 15 WEEKS, ORDER TO DOCK

Standard valves ship in under 15 weeks, keeping valve lead time off your program's critical path.

Hypergolic check valves

LEAKAGE < 0.001 SCIM GHe
(2.7 × 10−4 SCCS)

Cited leakage is for low differential pressure, the hardest condition for a check valve to seal. As differential pressure rises, leakage falls below detectable limits. Materials selected for long term hypergolic propellant exposure.

Propellant check valves

LEAKAGE < 0.010 SCIM GHe
(2.7 × 10−3 SCCS)

Cited leakage is for low differential pressure, with leakage below detectable limits at high differential pressure. Materials selected for common use across high pressure oxygen, hydrogen, and other common propellants.

Integration support

We specialize in material selection and system integration. Our engineers work with your vehicle team to deploy our hardware safely in your system.
