PPT Thrust Stand
A torsional-type thrust stand has been designed and built to test Pulsed Plasma Thrusters (PPTs) in both single shot and repetitive operatingmodes. Using this stand, momentum per pulse was determined strictly as a function of thrust stand deflection, spring stiffness, and natural frequency. No empirical corrections were required. The accuracy of the method was verified using a swinging impact p...
متن کاملPerformance Measurements Using a Sub-Micronewton Resolution Thrust Stand
A sub-micronewton level thrust stand is used to evaluate the performance of five different microthrusters. Using a torsional balance design, the JPL microthrust stand (μTS) is capable of measuring steady-state thrust as low as 1 μN with sub-micronewton resolution and an impulse as low as 1 μNs with sub-micronewton-second resolution. The μTS can support a test object with a mass as large as 10 k...
متن کاملA μNewton thrust-stand for LISA
The success of the LISA project depends on the ability of the disturbance reduction system to shield the proof masses from all external forces and maintain tight pointing requirements relative to the other two spacecrafts. μN-thrusters are required to compensate for the solar radiation pressure acting on the spacecraft. The force noise from these thrusters must be low enough to not disturb the ...
متن کاملBending Properties of Tail Flukes of Dolphin*
The aim of this paper is to study the bending properties of tail flukes of a dolphin. The bending test was carried out to obtain the displacements on different test points of a fluke. The Young’s moduli of the ligamentous layer and the dense connective tissue in the flukes were obtained from the tensile test and the compression test. In order to establish an FEM model for bending deformation of...
متن کاملIn-Trim Flight Investigations of a Conceptual Fluidic Thrust-Vectored Unmanned Tail-Sitter Aircraft
The feasibility of using a stand alone Fluidic Thrust-Vectoring (FTV) system for the purpose of longitudinal trim of an unmanned aerial vehicle is the focus of the research presented in this paper. Since the fluidic thrust vectoring requires high pressure secondary air to deflect the engine exhaust gases, this research also provides an analytical toolset for preliminary sizing of a suitable sec...
