Abstract

The article is devoted to increasing the efficiency of an electric propulsion engine in conditions of limited electric power of a small spacecraft. The electrostatic engine used to produce thrust of the order of 100 mN requires an electric power of 1.5–2 kW and use xenon (cost $26,000 / Kg) as a working fluid, whose reserves on board of the spacecraft with a 5 year active life reach 200–240 kg. Therefore, the question of improving the working process of low-power electric propulsion engine, for example, electro-thermal ones, becomes topical.

The thermodynamic study of the working process of an electro-thermal rocket engine with additional electrical equipment (up to 500 W) of a small space vehicle weighing up to 500 kg was carried out in the work. As a result of the study, the values of the required rates of the expiration of the working fluid from the electric propulsion engine, the thrust of the engine were determined, and the engine geometry estimates were made. A comparison is made with electric propulsion engines of electrostatic type and plasma ones.
