Flexial bellows to have multiple roles on next generation spacecraft, the Boeing CST-100

Flexial bellows will play a major role in maintaining the interior climate of the spacecraft. Continuing our partnership with a key player in the space market, we will supply two bellows assemblies for two unique applications within the spacecraft. The first bellows will be used in an accumulator that stores a coolant liquid, Galden. The accumulator will act as a thermal expansion device for the active thermal control system. The second bellows will be used in an accumulator that stores water for the craft sublimator. It will cool systems during launch and re-entry. Our business relationship with key industry partners allows us to remain on the forefront of space technology and continually provides our products with a manifest in space!
