ACTIVE MODEL ROCKET STABILIZATION VIA COLD GAS THRUSTERS
Gautier Marie Pierre Rouaze, Anton Ivanov, Xavier Collaud, Raimondo Pictet, Danylo Malyuta, Mikael Martins Gaspar
This paper describes the development and testing of a reaction control system (RCS) for a model rocket named FALCO-4. The rocket uses cold gas jets to keep itself perfectly vertical at low speeds. We first describe the mechanical layout of FALCO-4 and the ...
2015Experimental progress towards the MicroThrust MEMS electrospray electric propulsion system
Herbert Shea, Caglar Ataman, Simon Dandavino, Subha Chakraborty
This paper describes the experimental progress towards an operational microfabricated electrospray thruster, as part of the EU FP7 “MicroThrust” Project. Microfabrication of an electrospray multiplexed thruster allows the seamless manufacturing of arrays o ...
2013Realization of a solid-propellant based microthruster using low temperature co-fired ceramics
Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Yannick Sébastien Fournier, Jaya Thakur
The introduction of micro-spacecrafts in the space industry has led to the development of various micro-propulsion techniques. Microthrusters are micropropulsion devices used in a microspacecraft for precise station keeping, orbit adjustment, attitude cont ...
2010Solid Propellant Microthrusters on Silicon: Design, Modeling, Fabrication and Testing
The design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of solid propellant microthrusters for space application is presented. The operational concept of solid propellant thruster is simply based on the combustion of a solid energetic material stored in a ...
