COMPOSITE FUEL TANKS FOR THE GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MEASUREMENT SATELLITE

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, composite fuel tank for the Global Precipitation Measurement Satellite was introduced, which could be demised during the reentry and decrease the space trash and the damage to human beings and the environment. The design requirements were illustrated from the pressure, operating temperature and light weight, etc. And the fiber-wound tank and prepreg layup skirts and their joints were discussed from the components including PMD, liners and pressure cylinder. Finally, it was thought that the tank has the bright future in satellite application and the further significance in space environment protection.

Key words: space environment protection, global precipitation measurement, composite fuel tank, prepreg layup
