About
The XFS is designed for use within electric propulsion systems with Hall-effect thrusters, performing two main tasks: decreasing high pressure to operating pressure, and feeding required mass flow rates into the thrusters. Most components, including solenoid valves, the accumulator tank, flow restrictors, and the fill/drain valve, are designed and manufactured in-house, shortening production time and enabling adaptation to required parameters.
