Abstract
We present a survey of radio frequency sensors developed by the initiative of academician B.N. Petrov at the Institute of Control Sciences in collaboration with other organizations. Sensors and systems based on them enable control and measurement for the quantity of (remaining) liquid components in tanks and magistrals of space vehicles both on Earth (during their fueling) and in low gravity and zero gravity conditions during the flight.
