Abstract
An electromechanical actuation system () for a space vehicle includes a propellant source () and at least one turbine () operably connected to the propellant source () and rotatable by a flow of propellant () therefrom. At least one electrical generator () is operably connected to the at least one turbine () and is configured to convert rotation of the turbine () into electrical energy. At least one electromechanical actuator () is operably connected to the at least one electrical generator () such that electrical energy from the at least one electrical generator () drives operation of the at least one electromechanical actuator (). A method of operating a turbine powered electromechanical actuator () for a space vehicle includes rotating the at least one turbine () via a flow of propellant () therethrough. Electrical energy is generated in at least one electrical generator () operably connected to the at least one turbine () and the electromechanical actuator () is operated with the electrical energy generated therein.
