Research on the application of ADN propulsion module for satellites

Abstract

The novel technology of the liquid Ammonium Dinitramide(ADN) propulsion is researched for its higher working performance and safer characteristics. Based on the safe performance, the design of ADN propulsion system for satellites is also presented in this paper. At the same time, the research on ADN propulsion system module is presented in this paper, including the developing processes method, the interface analysis, and the assemblage in satellites. Two examples are described here besides an ADN propulsion module applied in orbit. From the research we can know that ADN propulsion technology is fit for satellites, and the modularization of ADN propulsion system is a better developing mode for small satellites, which can simplify the developing process of propulsion system and crafts. In the end, the further application object and further work of ADN propulsion module for satellites is stated.
