ATK supplies both monolithic titanium and composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) for pressurant gases. A wide range of tanks are qualified for Xenon, Helium, Nitrogen, and other high pressure gas applications. ATK's pressurant tanks have been utilized on both satellites and launch vehicles, with some launch vehicles utilizing as many as 13 ATK Helium pressurant tanks. |
