Modular impulsive green monopropellant propulsion system (Mimps-g): For cubesats in leo and to the moon

Green propellants are currently considered as enabling technology that is revolutionizing the development of high-performance space propulsion, especially for small-sized spacecraft. Modern space missions, either in LEO or interplanetary, require relatively high-thrust and impulsive capabilities to provide better control on the spacecraft,...

Review of state-of-the-art green monopropellants: For propulsion systems analysts and designers

Current research trends have advanced the use of “green propellants” on a wide scale for spacecraft in various space missions; mainly for environmental sustainability and safety concerns. Small satellites, particularly micro and nanosatellites, evolved from passive planetary-orbiting to being able to perform active orbital operations that may...

Modular impulsive green-monopropellant propulsion system for micro/nano satellites high-thrust orbital maneuvers (MIMPS-G)

Innovation in small-satellite modern space missions and applications require propulsion capabilities to enable active operations in orbit, such as formation flying, rendezvous operations, orbital altitude & inclination changes, and orbital transfers,– generally, operations demanding high-thrust impulsive maneuvers. In addition, Green...

Design of a 1-N monopropellant thruster for testing of new hydrogen peroxide decomposition technologies

Since there is a high interest in the use of green propellants, hydrogen peroxide is coming back after once making place for the rise of Hydrazine in monopropellant propulsion systems. Typically, these thrusters are outfitted with catalyst beds. A fully modular 1N thruster is designed to provide the capability of testing and comparing the...
