Abstract

Miniaturization of subsystems including propulsion systems is recent trends in spacecraft technology. Small space vehicle propulsion is not only a technological challenge of a scaling system down, but also a combination of fundamental flow/combustion constraints. In this paper, physical constraints of micronozzle for cold gas micro-thruster are reviewed and discussed. Method to measure small thrust are also described.

추진 시스템을 포함해 구성요소의 소형화가 최근 위성체 기술의 경향이다. 소형위성 추진기관은 크기 축소라는 기술적 도전일 뿐만 아니라, 기본적인 유동/연소 구속조건의 결합을 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 냉각 가스 마이크로 추력기에서 마이크로 노즐의 물리적 구속조건에 대해 살펴보았다. 또한 미소 추력의 측정 방법에 대해서도 언급하였다.
