Who Let the Gas Out? NASA Tank Venting Challenge Create a concept for tank venting in micro-gravity IMPORTANT: Participants need to fill out the Challenge Registration form before submitting the solution. Please refer to the Guidelines tab for more information. As space travel extends to greater duration and distance, missions may require a propellant refill in space. To achieve this, spacecraft may require larger tanks and efficient refueling along with tanks that have the capability of isolating propellant from ullage fluid (a gas and vapor mixture) during a vent. The goal of this Challenge is to develop a novel solution for the venting of ullage contents from a partially full propellant tank, in microgravity, with minimal loss of propellant. This ullage venting solution w...
