Pressure-Fed <strong>Systems</strong><br />
Note<br />
- 18-<br />
Note that due <strong>to</strong> long space flight mission duration, only pressure-fed systems are used<br />
because of their inherent simplicity compared with pump-fed systems, which are used<br />
commonly for launch propulsion.<br />
In addition, for long space flight missions, only s<strong>to</strong>rable propellants, which can be s<strong>to</strong>red<br />
for long periods in sealed tanks, are used.
