ABSTRACT:
A propellant acquisition device for a maneuvering engine in a satellite vehicle in which a propellant tank or container is provided with a propellant trap located internally of the tank adjacent a tank outlet to the maneuvering engine. The trap device is positioned to receive propellant and become refilled upon maneuvering engine use which causes propellant in the tank to migrate to the trap device and overcome the on-orbit drag on the propellant which causes it to migrate away from the trap device.
