Propellant management

Propellant management refers to the processes involved in handling propellants, which are materials used to produce thrust in rockets and spacecraft. This includes the safe storage, transfer, and usage of fuels and oxidizers, ensuring they are kept in optimal conditions to prevent hazards like leaks or explosions. Effective management is crucial during launch and flight, as it affects the performance and safety of the spacecraft. Proper engineering and procedures help avoid accidents and maximize efficiency, ensuring that the vehicle uses its propellant effectively to reach its destination.
