Compact monolithic propulsion system using monergol for small satellite

摘要

The propulsive system comprises a liquid propellant tank (101) fitted to the satellite platform. A supply unit (160) welded onto the reinforced bottom (104) of the tank incorporates a filter. A filling/emptying valve (191) is mounted on the supply unit together with a set of propulsion nozzles (111 to 114). These nozzles are orientated along the reservoir axis direction itself corresponding to the satellite axis. The nozzles are fed directly from the distribution unit without additional pipework.
