Performance 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 کاملمروری بر خواص و عملکرد پیشرانه N2O در سیستمهای پیشرانش مختلف(علمی-ترویجی)
The purpose of this paper is to review the application and the status of mono propellant Nitrous oxide (N2O) as a high energetic material in the space industry. Therefore Nitrous oxide is introduced and its usage in propulsion systems is discussed. The results suggest that this compound lies in the development of the miniaturization concept of space propulsion systems. Because of this combinati...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Micro-Thruster Impulse Measurement System Using Optical Sensors
A new method for measuring performance of a micro-thruster is suggested in this paper. A few thrust stands have been developed for measuring micro-level thrusts. This paper describes a different measurement method that can minimize the calibration involved in the measurements, while providing the capability of directly measuring the produced minimum impulse bit. The underlying theory and the th...
متن کاملPerformance of a micro-fabricated Colloid thruster system
In order to fully characterize the performance of the colloid thruster system the electrospray (ES) beam must itself be fully characterized. This may be achieved by measuring various properties such as flow rate, current, droplet/ion charge to mass ratio and current profile. Beam properties of both standard electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) emitters and arrays of custom made micro-fabricate...
متن کاملQuaternion-based Finite-time Sliding Mode Controller Design for Attitude Tracking of a Rigid Spacecraft during High-thrust Orbital Maneuver in the Presence of Disturbance Torques
In this paper, a quaternion-based finite-time sliding mode attitude controller is designed for a spacecraft performing high-thrust orbital maneuvers, with cold gas thrusters as its actuators. The proposed controller results are compared with those of a quaternion feedback controller developed for the linearized spacecraft dynamics, in terms of settling time, steady-state error, number of thrust...
