Launching and maneuvering a spacecraft involves the precise control of volatile fluids, which is where Lee nozzles come into play. Precision nozzles from The Lee Company are small, lightweight, and easy to install – plus they’re proven to withstand cryogenic and hypergolic fluids.
The Lee Company has developed an extensive range of custom nozzle configurations to enhance the capabilities of our standard product line. Nozzles with unique envelopes are designed to meet customized dimensional and/or performance specifications. Lee HI-BAR® Safety Screens may be integrated directly on the inlet of the nozzle body to create added protection in an extremely robust, one-piece design.
Other custom designs are optimized to perform under difficult conditions typical of spaceflight operations and include custom acceptance testing, including:
