NIST designs a prototype fuel gauge for the orbit

[ad_1] Credit:NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Many satellites perform very important and profitable tasks, but some may be deactivated with fuel still in the tank due to current methods of measuring the amount of fuel. More accurate fuel gauges could help ensure satellites stay operational longer and time in orbit is …
