Master (MSc) Thesis ''Development of a Valve Prototype for Spacecraft Propulsion Systems''

Valves are critical components in spacecraft propulsion systems, where high reliability, low mass, and efficient operation are

essential. OHB Sweden is currently investigating a new valve concept for future space applications and is seeking a Master's

student to support the early stages of the product development.

The thesis will focus on establishing a preliminary product definition, identifying key requirements, evaluating design concepts,

and performing first-order sizing and analysis of critical components and operating parameters. Depending on project progress and

thesis scope, the work may also include the design, manufacturing, and testing of an initial prototype.

Are you interested in contributing to the development of hardware for future space missions? OHB Sweden is looking for a Master's

student to support the early development of a new valve concept for spacecraft propulsion systems.

During the thesis, you will work with the complete early-stage development process, from defining requirements and evaluating

design concepts to preliminary sizing, modelling, and engineering design. The work will involve balancing key considerations such

as performance, reliability, manufacturability, mass, and power consumption. Depending on the progress and final scope of the

thesis, you may also have the opportunity to design, manufacture, and test a proof-of-concept prototype.

You will carry out the thesis as part of OHB Sweden's propulsion team, working closely with experienced engineers and contributing

to the development of technology intended for future space applications.

The student will become part of OHB Sweden's propulsion team and contribute to the development of a new spacecraft propulsion

technology. The work offers hands-on experience with real hardware development and close collaboration with engineers working on

current and future space missions.
