Abstract
In order to reduce the transportation cost incurred when sending a satellite into orbit, the weight of the satellite should be as low as possible. Even small reductions in the weight of the individual components lead to a decrease in the costs. One of these components is the satellite fuel tank, which stores the fuel required for positioning purposes for the entire lifetime of the satellite.
