Orchard Park, New York – Cobham introduces at the Farnborough International Air Show 2016 (Hall 4, Stand G68) an enhanced Electric Propulsion Xenon Regulator to the satellite industry that redefines what the market has to offer today.
Through on-going internal investment, the high-flow regulator
has been redesigned and optimized to achieve a final product that
is smaller and lighter than competitor offerings. Beyond
making room for additional payload, it can flow 10 times higher
than industry standard regulators enabling satellites to reach
orbit faster. Customer lead time and costs are reduced
through the use of Additive Manufacturing techniques that enable
design features previously unavailable with traditional machining
methods.
"We've been a market leader in the space propulsion industry
in the early days of satellite technology, and once again we are
leading with the definition of a new standard for performance at
higher flows and smaller envelope with our enhanced Xenon
regulator," said Stuart Buckley, Senior Director, Business
Development and Sales at Cobham Mission Systems. "We also have
the unique capability to couple the Xenon regulator with other
components into an integrated assembly with drastically reduced
size and weight. The integrated assembly eliminates weld tube stubs
and can be altered to fit any configuration, making it extremely
flexible and customizable."
In addition to investing in other satellite propulsion
technologies, such as high flow latching valves, proportional flow
control, and miniature valves, Cobham is also currently developing
launch vehicle propulsion check and relief valves that will help
send NASA further into deep space. These advanced
technologies and other pneumatic products, including pyrovalves,
service valves, and solenoid valves, can be leveraged to meet any
performance or budget target. We also offer lightweight composite
fuel tanks that allow for more payload and are available either off
the shelf or tailored to your specifications.
