<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface tension fuel tank which is used for housing and storing a storable fuel such as MMH, N<SB>2</SB>O<SB>4</SB>and hydrazine in a spacecraft, and moved with a propulsion gas used for a conveying medium so that a liquid is stably retained in a fuel path when the tank is directed horizontal, and the tank filling level is very low. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel tank has a duct 15 having a tank outlet in a spiral manner, and connection and opening ducts, and the tank outlet is formed so that these ducts couple a collection container with an outlet pipe. In addition, the inside of the collection container of the tank outlet is formed so as to be fully filled with the liquid by the surface tension. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
