ABSTRACT:
In a fuel supply system for a space missile or a spacecraft in which the thrusters are supplied with liquid or gaseous fuel from a fuel tank in which the tank pressure decreases continuously during the operational life of the system, the fuel throughput and thus the thrust of the respective thruster or thrusters is maintained substantially constant by the arrangement of a constant flow device in the fuel line between the tank and the reaction chamber of the system. The constant flow device is a self regulating pressure loss device realized by increasing or decreasing the through-flow area of the device in response to changing fuel supply pressures.
