Italian innovative startup expert in aerospace mechanical design engineering in space liquid propulsion aims at building a consortium of European SME for answering the ESA open call DEMISABLE TANK AND FILLDRAIN VALVE FOR CUBESAT PROPULSION (EXPRO+) expected to be issued in October 2025. The consortium now has three companies and they are searching for a partner for Co-leading, specifying tanks and valves for 16U Cubsat and manufacturing/integrating satellites with tanks & valves for demising simulation and interfaces.
The searching italian company already works in space activity and propulsion with knowledge on material for low temperature application or high temperature applications, metal and plastic as well as ceramics. The company is able to act as Leading Partner and knows perfectly the ESA rules.
No commercial fill and drain valves has been identified for the space sector that is publicly documented and qualified as designed specifically for “design for demise” (D4D).
Reputable manufacturers offer reliable space valves for fill/vent/drain but do not report design or qualifications to ensure safe demolition or consumption in atmospheric reentry.
