High-speed turbomachines for space applications

The incorporation of electric pumps and gas compressors driven by BLDC motors into environmental control systems enables an enhanced power density without the need to expand the spacecraft's physical volume. This is especially advantageous for telecom applications on high-throughput satellites with substantial power dissipation payloads.
Compact rotating machinery assumes crucial functions in managing thermal control, atmosphere regulation, and gas flow for a range of space missions. These advanced systems uphold reliability and efficiency in environmental control, playing a key role in achieving mission success.

Compressors and pumps play a crucial role in ground-based and in-space cryogenic propellant storage and transfer systems, offering the potential to enhance mission safety, reduce costs, and increase payload capacity. These machines are the result of individual development projects, ensuring they can withstand extreme temperatures, maintain precision in microgravity environments, and preserve the integrity of cryogenic propellants throughout missions. These developments not only optimize hydrogen applications but also align with the growing trend of utilizing environmentally friendly and storable liquid propellants, making them suitable and safe for various liquid rocket applications.
