Dragon V2 Propellant Management Device (PMD) Microgravity Testing

PI: Robin Titus, Space Exploration Technologies (SPACEX)

The propellant tanks designed and built by SpaceX for the crewed Dragon V2 spacecraft utilize a propellant management device (PMD) that would greatly benefit from validation, through parabolic testing, of its performance in delivering single phase liquid flow from the tank outlet in microgravity environments.
