| Abstract | This work describes the preliminary design and the initial development of a pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) to test different fuels, geometries, energies of discharge, voltages and frequencies. A PPT is an electric thruster used for attitude control and orbit correction of satellites and space probes. It uses a high-voltage discharge applied to the surface of a solid propellant bar. The propellant is ablated, ionized and accelerated by a combination of electromagnetic forces (Lorenz Force) and thermal expansion to create usable thrust. The PPT comprises a control circuit, a direct current converter (DC-DC) and a discharge chamber. The discharge chamber chosen includes a solid annular Teflon rod as fuel and two concentric cylindrical electrodes of copper. Three PPT versions were developed. The first version used an 8µF capacitor charged with 24 V yielding 2.304 mJ per pulse with a 10 kV discharge. The second version had an 4 µF capacitor loaded with 169.7 V yielding 57.6 mJ per pulse with a 18 kV discharge. It was tested in a vacuum chamber for 7.5 hours, generating 1,616,400 pulses at 60 Hz with total mass variation of 45.1 mg, with 0.028 µg ablated per pulse and a calculated impulse bit of 1.12 µNs. The third version under development allows operation at different frequencies 0.1-10 Hz, pulse energies 0.1-10 J and discharge voltages 10-40 kV. This version will permit the validation of thruster components for use on different missions. |
