Description
The French Space Act requires the passivation of the energy sources (electrical and propulsion) of the Spacecraft at the EOL, and spacecraft launched since 2020 from Guyana Space center comply with the rules.
The micro perforator development funded and managed by the CNES Toulouse Center provides a device to the satellite prime contractor to comply with the requirement to drain the propellant and the pressurant gases trapped in the tubing and the propellant tanks.
Our purpose is to give a reminder of the technical elements and qualification status then to communicate the return of experience based on the microperforators already integrated and launched for different programs.
