Discharges in Space: Plasmas for Satellite Propulsion
2018 28th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV), 2018In this work the vacuum arc thruster (VAT) is described and investigated in terms of working principle, power supply, ignition mechanism and other technical requirements. Also, measurements for reliability and power supply characteristics are performed. Besides different power supply solutions, different thruster geometries are discussed and evaluated.

ARTEMIS: Ion Propulsion - Satellite Interactions
41st AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2005On January 31, 2003 a little less than 600 days after the launch ESA's advanced telecommunication satellite ARTEMIS after orbit raising with ion propulsion was delivered into its dedicated geosynchronous position. As an orbit raising maneuver was not planned, this period included all the efforts of a joint ESA, Alenia Spazio, EADS Astrium, Telespazio ...

Water Electrolysis Satellite Propulsion System
1973Abstract : A water electrolysis satellite propulsion system capable of providing 100,000 pound-seconds of impulse during a seven year life was fabricated and tested in three modes of operation -- simple blowdown, helium repressurization and repressurization by oxygen in a feedback mode. The tests verified the systems predicted capabilities in all three

Electrical propulsion for control of stationary satellites
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1963The application of electric propulsion engines to attitude control and stationkeeping of 24-hour stationary satellites is analyzed and compared with the performance of contemporary cold gas, monopropellant, and bipropellant propulsion systems. Both a 500-pound spin-stabilized and a 1500-pound three-axis controlled satellite compatible with current ...

Hydrogen Peroxide Propulsion for Smaller Satellites
1998As satellite designs shrink, providing maneuvering and control capability falls outside the realm of available propulsion technology. While cold gas has been used on the smallest satellites, hydrogen peroxide propellant is suggested as the next step in performance and cost before hydrazine. Minimal toxicity and a small scale enable bench top propellant
