Embodiment 1

[0020] This embodiment discloses a multi-stage high-efficiency pulse plasma thruster. The structure of the thruster is mainly composed of one section of anode 10, one section of cathode 3, two sections of anode 7, two sections of cathode 8, insulating section 5, trigger pole 1, trigger work Composition of mass 2, energy storage capacitor group 11, propellant 4, cladding layer 9 and outer casing 6.

[0021] The thruster has a coaxial structure as a whole, and the electrodes are divided into two sections. The first section of electrodes is mainly used for the process of ablating and ionizing the propellant, and the second section of electrodes is mainly used for the process of plasma acceleration. The first section of electrode consists of a section of anode 10 and a section of cathode 3, both of which are coaxial rings made of brass, wherein the section of anode 10 has an inner diameter of 9 mm, an outer diameter of 10 mm, and a length of 25 mm. A section of cathode 3 has an in...

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-section type high-efficiency pulse plasma thruster, and belongs to the field of micro-nano satellite micro-propulsion. The thruster is mainly composed of a one-sectionanode, a one-section cathode, a two-section anode, a two-section cathode, an insulation section, a trigger electrode, a trigger working medium, an energy storage capacitor set, a propellant, a coatinglayer and an outer shell body; the electrodes of the thruster are divided into two sections, each section of electrodes is provided with a voltage through a respective energy storage capacitor, so that the total energy distributed to different capacitors discharging at different positions are realized, so that a propellant ablation ionization process and a plasma acceleration process are separated, more energy is enabled to be used for the plasma acceleration process, and the whole acceleration efficiency of the thruster can be improved. A small amount of plasma is generated by triggering theworking medium which is triggered through a trigger electrode, the breakdown voltage between one-section electrode is greatly reduced to facilitate the triggering of initial discharge, and then the reliability of the operation of the thruster is further improved; and the thruster is suitable for application occasions of low-power wiener satellites, and meets corresponding task thrust requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multi-stage high-efficiency pulsed plasma thruster, which belongs to the field of micro-nano-satellite micro-propulsion. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of aerospace technology, micro-nano satellites have received more and more attention due to their small size, low power consumption, short launch cycle, light weight, low cost, and functional scalability, and have broad application prospects. . Several micro-nano-satellite formations form a large "virtual satellite". Through the cooperative signal processing between micro-nano-satellites, tasks such as earth observation, communication and navigation, and target reconnaissance can be completed. Therefore, the mission requirements and flight space environment of the micro-nano satellite make the propulsion system meet the following requirements: light weight, low power consumption, small size, and precise thrust. Traditional propulsio...
