Tasks that propellant utilization and gaging (PUG) system performs are measurement of propellants and control of propellant burning ratio on propulsion engine; PUG system includes sensors for measuring fuel and oxidizer quantities and displaying information to astronauts; propellant valving to provide capability of vernier corrections to propellant mixture ratio, so that fuel and oxidizer can be depleted simultaneously; facilities to generate precise analog voltages representing fuel and oxidizer quantities measured for use in spaceship telemetry system.
