XFS (Xenon Feed System)
The Xenon Feed System (XFS) is designed for working in the structure of Electric Propulsion Systems (EPS) with the Hall-effect thruster(s). XFS fulfills two main tasks: decreasing the high pressure to the working pressure and feed the required values of the mass flow rates into electrical propulsion thrusters. Most of the components (solenoid valves, accumulator tank, flow restrictors, fill and drain valve etc.) are designed and manufactured in-house, which shortens the time of production and allows adapting the feed system to the required parameters.
