<p>A propellant utilization system (100) for space vehicles. The system (100) utilizes a common algorithm(s) to generate mixture ratios for multiple thrust sources (118a-n) as they become active. The system (100) includes a processing system (102) comprising sequencer logic (108), propellant logic (106), and mixture ratio logic (104). The sequencer logic (108) determines which thrust source (118a-n) is active and provides flight parameters for the active source (118a-n) to the propellant (106) and mixture ratio logic (104). The propellant logic (106) processes information from propellant sources (120a-d, n1, and n2) connected to the active thrust source (118a-n), using the flight parameters, to determine an amount of remaining propellant in each source (120a-d, n1, and n2). The mixture ratio logic (104) generates a mixture ratio for the active thrust source (118a-n) using the flight parameters and information on the remaining propellant amount in each source (120a-d, n1, and n2) connected to the active thrust source (118a-n).</p> |
