Expulsion Systems
The elastomeric bladder for a NASA experimental vehicle coolant tank was designed and tested by ACE. NASA flew this vehicle in the early 2000's. An AFE 332 bladder for a hydrazine tank for a launch vehicle reaction control system tank was designed and developed by ACE. A twelve-foot centrifuge designed and built by ACE was used to perform numerous full-scale fluid expulsion tests at 3.5 g's for this tank. A reaction control system propellant tank with an elastomeric bladder tank for use with 90% hydrogen peroxide was also designed by ACE for a NASA experimental vehicle and testing of a laboratory prototype was performed.
