The research of ammonia electrothermal microengines for small spacecrafts

摘要

Issues of design and construction concept of electrothermal microengines (ETME) for ammonia correcting propulsion systems (CPS) of maneuvering small spacecrafts (SS) using multi-purpose approach are considered. ETME structural designs are defined, results of experimental studies and ways of further improvement of ETME are presented.
