Abstract

The invention discloses a circuit for a pulse plasma thruster, which comprises an ignition circuit, an energy storage circuit and a control circuit, wherein a singlechip in the control circuit outputs chopped wave signals; and pulse transformers in the ignition circuit and the energy storage circuit charge an ignition capacitor and an energy storage capacitor. When sampling voltages of the positive input ends of two voltage comparators reach a set ignition voltage and a set energy storage voltage respectively, the singlechip stops outputting the chopped wave signals, and after a set delay time, outputs ignition signals which generate trigger pulse high-tension electricity by the pulse transformer in the energy storage circuit, and then the pulse high-tension electricity is discharged to break gas discharge tubes down to produce electric spark to trigger ignition. The circuit has the advantage of realizing quick and controllable charge and accurate triggered ignition.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology belongs to the field of electric propulsion, relates to a circuit for a pulse plasma thruster, and specifically relates to circuit technologies such as automatic control. Background technique [0002] Micro-thrust engine technology for space such as electric propulsion is widely used in the aerospace field. Because the thruster for space applications requires high specific impulse and small mass, it brings great difficulties to the design of the thruster. The power processing unit of the pulse plasma thruster accounts for most of the mass of the thruster, and the performance of the thruster is also closely related to the characteristics of the circuit. The current research results include a high-voltage circuit using a counter-switching converter. This circuit is relatively complicated and the ignition control is not accurate. For details, see "Research on Performance of 40J Pulsed Plasma Thruster", Hu Zongsen, 2002.6. Contents of th...
