ELECTRIC THRUSTER, A METHOD OF STOPPING AN ELECTRIC ENGINE INCLUDED IN SUCH A THRUSTER, AND A SATELLITE INCLUDING SUCH A THRUSTER |
摘要 |
An electric thruster includes at least one electric engine, a feed system for the engine including a high-pressure tank of ionizable gas, a low-pressure buffer tank connected to the high-pressure tank by a valve, and a system of pipes for conveying the gas from the low-pressure buffer tank to an anode and to a cathode of the engine. The low-pressure buffer tank is in open connection with the engine. The thruster detects that a magnitude of the discharge current between the anode and the cathode is less than a threshold value and switches off the discharge voltage as a result of the detection. The thruster can be for use in a satellite,
