Miniature alcohol-blend thrusters depend on ultra-fast solenoid valves to improve specific impulse and system durability, extending useful life on long missions. The Lee Company has enhanced its range of IEP Series Extended Performance solenoid valves. Models with flight heritage can be configured with special ports for each application, and feature durable laser-welded construction. The IEP Series also performs in a wide temperature range, up to 275°F, and an extended pressure range with differential pressure up to 800 psi. Dependability is second to none. IEP Series solenoid valves have a typical life expectancy of millions of cycles, and quality is ensured through 100% testing and inspection from beginning to end of production. https://thelee.co/4eELfx3

https://lnkd.in/gSjWHhQy having participated as a subject matter expert in multiple risk boards, i have learned a lot about how the boards assess risk, really a complex matriz of probality of occurrence of the specific chain of events that could cause the failure in the mission and consequence of the failure. this matrix covers all known facts of leaks in valvetech valves , leak rates akd acceptable leak rates. past events are also added. the probability calculations are math based but at the end of the day engineering judgement is thrown in to calculate the probability. "So here is my guess on the If-then statement... IF one single valve with the same workmanship as other valves leaks post-fights the current rate on the ground by 100 times and no corrections can be made, THEN there will be loss of life. " to be clear. this is my guess based on my engineering knowledge of spacecraft systems and These type of valves. these are NOT and never should be easy decisions.i am certain they are not, in this case. getting to the root causes that are verified and fixed is vital. really vital.

Smart Materials, Smarter Engineering Shape-memory alloys are materials that can 'remember' their original shape and return to it when heated. Engineers are using these alloys to create self-repairing structures, from bridges to spacecraft. It's like having a built-in repair crew for your infrastructure.
