Development of POLON—A Green Microsatellite Propulsion Module Utilizing 98% Hydrogen Peroxide

The following paper presents the key design and test activities associated with development of POLON—a green microsatellite propulsion module using 98% Hydrogen Peroxide (HTP). POLON, which stands for “Polish Propulsion Module”, is first step toward a full, ready-to-be-commercialized satellite system at ?ukasiewicz—Institute Aviation (?-IoA). an entire within frame POLON project effort natural milestone on ?-IoA roadmap, so far embodied research fundamental HTP chemistry, work elementary technologies, as well individual components. Within this article, logic introduced first, major challenges utilizing orbital are described. Consequently, specific R&D aimed mitigating identified issues risks discussed. Those cover analytical experimental work, including, but not limited to, compatibility studies candidate construction materials, waterhammer effect studies, catalyst testing evaluation, propellant tank manufacturing studies. initial results those presented and, finally, further plans
