Abstract

This paper describes the progress of an advanced pulsed plasma thruster (PPT).The PPT currently being developed for flight which represents a significant leap in technology compared to previous flight models. The PPT will be used to extend satellite life from about 1–3 months to over one year by raising it's operational orbit. The PPT is an ideal propulsion system for extending the small satellite life because of it's high specific impulse (>1000 sec), low system wet mass (<5 kg), and inert nature when not powered (thus minimizing shuttle integration issues). In addition to the life enhancement mission, the on-orbit operations have been specifically designed to rigorously test the PPT ant to demonstrate it's compatibility with the satellites spacecraft in order to validate it for commercial satellites.
用于卫星轨道控制的先进脉冲等离子体推进器
本文介绍了一种新型脉冲等离子体推力器的研究进展。目前正在为飞行开发的PPT,与以前的飞行模型相比,代表了技术上的重大飞跃。PPT将通过提高卫星的运行轨道,将卫星的寿命从大约1-3个月延长到一年以上。PPT是一个理想的推进系统,用于延长小卫星的寿命,因为它的高比冲(bbb1000秒),低系统湿质量(<5公斤),和惰性性质,当没有动力(从而最大限度地减少航天飞机的集成问题)。除了延长寿命的任务外,在轨操作还专门设计用于严格测试PPT ant,以证明其与卫星航天器的兼容性,以便验证其用于商业卫星。
