VAPOR JETTING DEVICE AND SPACECRAFT

摘要

Provided is a vapor jetting device including: a box-shaped casing; a propellant holding unit that is placed in the casing and forms a space for holding a propellant; a gas storing unit that is placed in the casing, forms a space that is divided from the propellant holding unit by a partition wall including a communication hole, and stores gas; a machine housing unit that is placed in the casing, forms a space that is divided from the propellant holding unit and the gas storing unit by partition walls, and houses machines; a nozzle that is connected to the casing and ejects the gas to an outside; a gas flow path that is formed in the casing and supplies the gas stored in the gas storing unit to the nozzle; and a heater that is placed in the casing and heats at least the gas storing unit.

主权项

1. A vapor jetting device that evaporates a propellant in the form of liquid and jets gas by means of a steam pressure to thereby obtain thrust, comprising:
a box-shaped casing; a propellant holding unit that is placed in the casing and forms a space for holding the propellant; a gas storing unit that is placed in the casing, forms a space that is divided from the propellant holding unit by a partition wall including a communication hole, and stores the gas; a machine housing unit that is placed in the casing, forms a space that is divided from the propellant holding unit and the gas storing unit by partition walls, and houses machines; a nozzle that is connected to the casing and ejects the gas to an outside; a gas flow path that is formed in the casing and supplies the gas stored in the gas storing unit to the nozzle; and a heater that is placed in the casing and heats at least the gas storing unit.
