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 performance of different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, different catalysts as well as new technologies in an attempt to resolve the disadvantages associated with the use of catalyst beds. A preliminary baseline design of a catalytic thruster has been created. This will be followed by the design of a secondary decomposition chamber for new technologies, a propellant feed system, a test setup and a test plan.
