- Abstract
This paper addresses the development of a Liquid Rocket Engine Pressurized Feeding System (SAMF), being developed by the Brazilian private company Orbital Engenharia Ltda, in partnership with the Instituto de Aeronautica e Espaço – IAE, with the financial support of the Research and Project Financing – FINEP. The SAMF is intended to feed a 1.5 kN thrust liquid rocket engine (Liquid Oxygen and Ethanol). The SAMF is being design to have a high pressure gas tank (Helium) to pressurize the fuel and oxidizer storage tanks. The pressure will be regulated by direct actuation pressure regulators to be developed. The pressure tank and both the fuel and oxidant storage tanks are being design have an aluminum metallic liner overwrapped with a filament wound carbon fiber skin. One of the SAMF design constraints is the existing manufacturing technology availability in Brazil. Other SAMF components like valves, piping and sensors are intended to be commercial of the shelf.
