摘要: A system (100) for controlling a distribution of propellant in tank assembly spacecraft comprises body (101) containing the propellant, plurality thermal tomography elements (201), including temperature-control and temperature sensors, disposed around detecting inside body; element control module arranged to redistribute by heating and/or cooling propellant. In an embodiment, includes management device are proximity (110). Tomography data can be obtained from elements, within determined based on data.
