A method for controlling the utilization of a fluid bipropellant including two respective constituents separately in respective tanks aboard a spacecraft for consumption by a spacecraft rocket engine, comprising the steps of actuating the rocket engine; during the actuation of the rocket engine, providing a flow of bipropellant constituents to the rocket engine in a first proportion; after the actuation of the rocket engine, measuring the amount of at least one bipropellant constituent in a bipropellant tank containing the constituent; adjusting a pressure level within at least one bipropellant tank relative to a pressure level within another bipropellant tank based upon the amount of said at least one bipropellant constituent in a bipropellant tank containing said at least one constituent; after the measuring step, actuating the rocket engine; during the actuation of the rocket engine after the measuring step, providing a flow of bipropellant constituents to the rocket engine in a second proportion based upon said adjusted pressure level within said at least one bipropellant tank relative to a pressure level within said another bipropellant tank. |
