Vivace Satellite Systems Mission Support
Satellites are broadly critical to humankind’s interests. From national security to entertainment and information, we’re more reliant on spacecraft with each passing day. Just about every spacecraft requires propulsion and attitude control, requirements which are typically satisfied via thrusters and engines that convert energy stored in propellant and pressurant tanks to provide these functions.
Vivace is an industry leading developer of propellant and pressurant tanks for spacecraft. However, Vivace’s technology allows for lower costs and shorter lead times for most applications. Vivace’s Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPV’s) are also the lowest mass in the industry, meaning that more mass is available for revenue-generating payloads on the host spacecraft.
Vivace is proud to be a top-tier supplier on many satellite missions in LEO, MEO, and GEO, supplying main propellant tanks, pressurant tanks, and propellant management systems that are reliable, that maximize performance, that meet development schedules, and that are affordable.
Vivace Enabling Technologies: Satellite Systems missions
Propellant Tanks
- Vivace provides high performance propellant tanks using both welded metal and Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV) technologies.
- Most satellite propellant tanks include Propellant Management Devices (PMDs) to control internal fluid motion during the mission. Vivace has broad experience in the development of PMD’s for every type of satellite mission.
Pressurant Tanks
- Vivace provides high performance pressurant tanks for LEO, MEO, and GEO missions. Most often these tanks are COPVs.
