Valworx, Inc., a supplier of actuated valves and controls, has partnered with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) to supply actuated valves for the school’s Deneb project.

Deneb is an ambitious student-led project with the goal of launching a liquid rocket that can reach the edge of space, at an altitude of 100km (the Karman Line).

The valves will be used for the fuel and oxidizer feed systems for the liquid oxygen/kerosene-powered flight vehicle.
