Haskel Keeps You Reaching for the Stars: High-Pressure Systems for Space Missions

As humanity continues its quest to explore beyond our planet, the reliability and precision of technology become paramount. In this high-stakes environment, where every component must perform flawlessly under extreme conditions, Haskel stands as a trusted partner, since the moon landing in advancing space exploration.

Haskel’s Essential Role in Space Exploration

Space exploration has always captured human imagination—from historic moon landings to modern missions aiming for Mars and beyond. Behind these monumental achievements lies an array of sophisticated technologies that ensure mission success. Among them are high-pressure systems provided by Haskel that play crucial roles at every stage.

Haskel's history is deeply intertwined with significant milestones in aerospace history. From supporting Apollo missions with ground equipment like helium blanketing technology to contributing advanced compressors for today's astronaut capsules such—Haskel remains committed to pushing boundaries further into outer space.

Innovative Solutions Tailored for Aerospace Needs

With over 75 years' experience developing cutting-edge compression and valve technologies tailored specifically towards aerospace applications; we continue innovating solutions designed to meet the evolving demands faced industry leaders today tomorrow alike.

Our involvement extends to next-generation Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs), commonly known spacesuits worn astronauts during critical extravehicular activities or "spacewalks." These suits require precise engineering ensure safety functionality amidst harshest environments imaginable—a challenge embraced wholeheartedly here at Haskel.

Featured Products Supporting Space Exploration Excellence

To support these critical operations; we offer a suite of specialized products engineered to deliver unparalleled performance reliability under pressure:

1. Electric Servo Gas Boosters: Provides precise control over gas compression processes essential for maintaining optimal conditions throughout mission lifecycle stages. The advanced control system allows for real-time operation visibility, increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of operational downtime.
2. Air-driven Gas Boosters: A flexible and efficient solution for delivering high-pressure gases, ideal for gas pressure increases, high-pressure gas transference, cylinder charging, and scavenging. These boosters can produce pressures up to 39,000 psi (2690 bar), ensuring durability, safety, and reliability in space applications.
3. Hydraulic Gas Boosters: The H-Drive hydraulic booster is designed for high-pressure gas compression and transfer needs. Its robust design ensures continuous, heavy-duty operation, making it safe and reliable for critical aerospace missions.
4. High-Pressure Valves: BuTech high-pressure valves are engineered to meet the demands of the most severe applications, offering reliable performance for pressure control. These valves can handle pressures from vacuum to 150,000 psi (10,340 bar) and temperatures from -423° F (-253° C) to over 1200° F (649° C).
5. Air-driven Oxygen Gas Boosters: These boosters facilitate the safe handling and boosting of oxygen, essential for life support systems in space. They can boost oxygen from high- or medium-pressure sources and transfer gas from partially depleted supply cylinders to "top off" other cylinders to maximum pressure.
