Pioneering spaceflight even before Apollo
Beginning in 1957, Parker products were part of the Scout Missile program. As the missiles were fired from the launch pad, Parker T-Zero couplings separated and sealed as designed. More than 150 Parker Stratoflex part numbers have won acceptance on the Space Shuttle and over 500 additional Parker Stratoflex part numbers have earned their place on the International Space Station.
When talking about the world standard, only one quick-disconnect and hose assembly supplier offers performance that is out of this world. Parker Stratoflex.
Rockets and missiles
Stratoflex products are used in fluid systems on expendable launch vehicles ranging from early missiles to the Delta IV-EELV. System fluids run the gamut from simple low-pressure gaseous nitrogen and flight control hydraulics to hazardous monopropellant fluids and oxidizers including nitrogen tetroxide, hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine. A long history of collaborative efforts and experiences with NASA, the U.S. and International space system contractors has given Stratoflex the background and ability to provide extensive, knowledgeable support to our launch vehicle customers.
Satellites and space probes
Whether orbiting the Earth or venturing to the outer reaches of the Solar System, Stratoflex products are used in critical applications requiring reliability over the lifespan. Water boiler systems, thermal control systems, pre-launch monopropellant Systems, and attitude control systems rely on the long life and reliability Stratoflex products are known for.
Space station
External applications for Stratoflex products include liquid ammonia, water, and FC-72 thermal control systems, high pressure gaseous oxygen and nitrogen. Internal applications involve thermal control water, Waste recovery management, vacuum systems, high- and low-pressure gaseous nitrogen, high- and low-pressure gaseous oxygen, active rack isolation systems, passive rack isolation systems, JEM birthing mechanism and the sample delivery system. Stratoflex products help maintain the smooth, safe and reliable operation of these critical systems in virtually all modules of the Station.
