Mass gaging system will measure fuel transfer in zero gravity

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 04:27 PM PDT

Transfer of super-cooled or cryogenic fuel from one tank to another in the zero gravity of space may one day be a reality. But the challenges of measuring fuels and fuel levels in the weightlessness of space must be solved first. A newly developed sensor technology that will be tested on the early suborbital flights of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo in 2015.

Strengthening thin-film bonds with ultrafast data collection
