Proportional Valves for Gas Regulation and Transportation

In partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), Stellar Space Industries is engaged in the development of a state-of-the-art electric propulsion thruster system for small satellites. This venture is characterised by its innovative Flow Control Unit, designed to ensure precise gas flow in challenging conditions of space. The flow control unit’s core component is a novel piezo-based micro machined valve, engineered for high accuracy and efficiency.

• Superior leakage performance compared to existing market alternatives.
• Rapid response times (within microseconds).
• High precision control of gas flows and pressures.
• Compact design and minimal power consumption/heat generation.
• Accurately and efficiently controlling various gases within specific flowrate ranges, maintaining an unprecedented level of precision.
• Capability to handle various gas mediums.
• Longevity: Specially engineered for extended life endurance, harsh environments and aggressive species, the valves minimise maintenance and replacement costs.
