Abstract

The invention relates to an ionic liquid electronic injection thruster for controlling liquid supply through an electric field, and belongs to the technical field of micro-propulsion of micro-nano satellites. The ionic liquid electronic injection thruster comprises a liquid storage tank, a copper sheet covered with a hydrophobic dielectric layer, an insulating spacer used for controlling the distance of the copper sheet, an upper shell, an emitting electrode and an extraction electrode. According to the thruster, the wettability between the ionic liquid and the porous medium type emitting electrode is improved through the electric field, meanwhile, the flowing characteristic of the ionic liquid in a capillary pipeline is controlled through the electric field, active supply of a propellant can be achieved, the emission stability of the ionic liquid electronic injection thruster is improved, the service life of the ionic liquid electronic injection thruster is prolonged, the thruster is suitable for resistance compensation of low-power micro-nano satellites, and task requirements of position keeping, attitude control and the like are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ionic liquid electrojet thruster with liquid supply controlled by an electric field, and belongs to the technical field of micro-nano-satellite micro-propulsion. Background technique [0002] Low cost, short development period, and flexible launch are the main advantages of micro-nano satellites. At present, micro-nano satellites have been widely used in the fields of communication, remote sensing, earth observation and space experiments, and have broad prospects. Since the micro-nano satellite is limited by total power, mass and volume, its propulsion system needs to have the characteristics of low power consumption, light weight, small size, long life, and precise thrust. Ionic Liquid Electrospray Thruster (ILET) has the characteristics of small size, light weight, high specific impulse, and high thrust accuracy, which can meet the requirements of micro-nano satellites for propulsion systems, and is an ideal propulsion sys...
