Abstract

We are promoting SOHLA series PETSAT microsatellites and developing a propulsion system based on a new concept as part of the SOHLA project, in order that microsatellites will be capable of orbit transfers by equipping with propulsion system for orbit correction, compensation, and EFELDO. We found a good combination of fuel and oxidizer with a higher performance catalyst, and they are the most promising candidate for the propulsion system because of propulsion performance and their safety. We estimated the propulsion system attained 200 seconds of specific impulse in an appropriate thrust magnitude range, and designed and manufactured a breadboard model of the propulsion system for PETSAT.
