Propelant management concepts
Propellant management involves overseeing the storage, regulation, and delivery of fuel – typically liquid or gas – used to power rockets or spacecraft. It ensures that propellants are stored safely, flow correctly during launch or operation, and are used efficiently. This includes controlling pressure, preventing leaks, and managing the timing of fuel release. Proper management is critical for safety, performance, and mission success, minimizing risks like explosions or equipment failure while optimizing the use of valuable fuel resources.
