Abstract PASSIVE PROPELLANT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM A passive propellant management system for a spacecraft liquid propellant tank (1) comprises several preferably V-shaped channels (2) which communicate liquid propellant from regions within the tank (1) to an outlet port (8), which expels liquid propellant but not pressurant gas. A liquid/bubble chamber assembly (9) couples the channels (2) with the outlet port (8). The liquid/bubble chamber assembly (9) comprises a liquid trap (27) and bubble trap (28), which operate synergistically with each other and with the channels (2) to provide optimum liquid flow during all phases of the spacecraft mission.
