AERODYNE CONTROLS
Cryogenic Solenoid Valves
Trusted since 1958 by NASA and modern defense programs, Aerodyne Controls delivers ultra-clean, high-reliability cryogenic flow-control solutions engineered for the extreme temperatures and pressures of space flight and launch vehicles.
The High Stakes of Extreme Environments
Engineers building launch vehicles and defense systems require trustworthy components that won’t fail and can function within extreme operational parameters. Standard, off-the-shelf options often can’t hold up in harsh environments, so companies need tailored cryogenic valves that can endure:
- Cryogenic temperatures
- High shock and vibration
- High pressures exceeding 5,000 to 10,000 psi
- The vacuum of space
Cryogenic Flow Control Valves from Aerodyne Controls Are the Solution
Aerodyne Controls, a CIRCOR company, delivers premium hardware engineered for cryogenic performance. Our team supplies:
✅ High-reliability cryogenic valves
✅ Fully integrated cryogenic feed systems
✅ Pressurization lines with ultra-clean operation and low leakage
✅ Motor-operated valves (MOVs) for propellant management
✅ Cold-gas pressure regulators for precise pressure control in cryogenic reaction control systems (RCS)

Why Aerodyne Controls
Choosing Aerodyne Controls for cryogenic solenoid valves and other essential components means working with industry leaders with extensive experience.
- Deep aerospace heritage and key certifications – Our company was founded in 1958 and immediately began supplying cryogenic valves directly to NASA. Our commitment to the field has continued to this day, as we produce parts tailored to meet the needs of NASA, ESA, MIL-STD, and FAA requirements, alongside those of AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications.
- In-house testing and validation infrastructure – Thoroughly testing hardware in-house before full production ensures reliability and a quicker speed to market. Our testing capabilities include thermal chambers equipped with liquid nitrogen supply for dedicated cryogenic testing (-100 °F to over 400 °F), helium leak checks, cryogenic flow testing, and pneumatic pressure test stations up to 15,000 PSIG. We also operate cleanroom assembly facilities.
- End-to-end partnership approach – When we work on a project for liquid oxygen valves or other components, we start with an initial technical conversation on capabilities and needs, procure customer specifications, create a comprehensive proposal for engineering, prototyping, production, and more, and then advance on to conducting vetting, testing, validation, and qualification of deliverables.
In short, Aerodyne acts as your agile, dedicated partner through the entire design cycle.
FAQs
What if my program requires tailored cryogenic valves instead of standard parts?
While we provide some standard configurations, the majority of our pneumatic and cryogenic systems are application-specific and explicitly tailored to the unique demands of your program and architecture.
Can you handle qualification processes for space-flight applications?
Yes, we manage the full qualification lifecycle in-house, using our liquid nitrogen (LN2) thermal chambers and testing facilities to ensure all necessary NASA, ESA, and MIL-STD requirements are met, while providing you with complete data packages.
Do you support cryogenic solenoid valves and systems after deployment?
We do. Our dedicated aftermarket and MRO divisions provide global sustainment support, giving customers access to factory-authorized repairs, performance testing, and OEM-certified parts that extend the lifecycle of your systems.
