Team 24: Space Vehicle Fuel Gauge
Abstract
A major challenge in the aerospace industry is accurately measuring fuel level in a microgravity environment, impacting mission expense and duration. Our team has developed a mechanical system that utilizes piston actuation and pressure sensors to detect volume changes, thereby determining the fuel level in a tank. The result is a gauge that measures fuel to an accuracy of ≤1% within microgravity.
