Composite space pressure vessels

Eaton makes an array of range safety approved composite pressure vessel designs for space applications. Our tanks feature optional composite skirts that seamlessly integrate the propellant tanks with new and existing spacecraft structures. Our composite pressurant tanks are used for cold gas propulsion, fuel expulsion, thrust vector control, fuel storage including xenon, krypton or liquid propellants like hydrazine.

We led the industry when we fabricated the world’s first S-081 qualified demisable propellant tank. This high-performance propellant tank is used in space missions that require spacecraft to create non-hazardous debris fields upon atmospheric re-entry.

From off-the-shelf tanks for commercial satellites to customized solutions, our engineers can design a composite propellant tank to fit your high-performance gas storage needs.
