Flight-Qualified Flow Controls
Marotta Controls offers products with over 60 years of flight-proven heritage. Our pressurization and control valves played a critical role in the earliest days of manned spaceflight, from the fuel control valves on the Saturn rocket to propulsion systems for the Lunar Module ascent and descent engines.
With extensive experience and success in our space system technologies we are able to leverage our heritage and product portfolio and have evolved our qualified controls to meet the increasing requirements of Space applications. Today, our pressurization and propulsion controls provide reliable, cost-effective performance without compromise to commercial and military space control systems and spacecraft.
The list of applications in which our spacecraft controls are found is extensive. It involves critical components and functions that are necessary to the safety, integrity, quality and success of spacecraft systems and missions. These applications include:
