Scientific paper

This paper describes research at Tsinghua University, P.R. of China, promoting development of sub-Newton thrust nitrous oxide monopropellant for application onboard small spacecraft. This research focuses on investigation of pressure effect on N2O decomposition with respect to miniaturization of decomposer design and acceleration of reaction initiation. The experimental results demonstrate that by raising chamber pressure N2O decomposer design can be scaled down and start-up transient of prospective monopropellant can be shortened. Based on these results it is concluded that prospective N2O monopropellants can have size and mass competitive to existing hydrazine ones. Further research is suggested to improve the achieved performance.
