I am talking about the fuel in the tank. When a spacecraft is in orbit, for example, and it restarts its engine, how does the fuel goes into the engine ? In a weightlessness environnment, the liquid fuel will be dispersed everywhere in the tank, not necessarily in front of the "intake". A turbo pump as to be "primed", what if there is no fuel at the entrace of it ? Even with a pressure feed systems, you would have some of the gas used for pressurizing going into the engine... not very good!<br /><br />So how does it work ? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
