CHARACTERIZATION OF A “GREEN” PROPELLANT FOR A 12 N THRUSTER SPACE PROPULSION 2022

摘要: A breadboard thruster was developed to start the characterization of an innovative “green” propellant (GP). Firing tests were performed at different chamber pressures and mixture ratios to assess the propellant decomposition at different operating conditions. The present objective is the development of a 12 N thruster for a small propulsion system fitting the standard size of an 8U CubeSat-frame.
