摘要

Cold gas thrusters have been used for station keeping in satellites since the beginnings of space flight in the early 1960s. Their advantage of simplicity and robustness comes at the price of performance, and because of this, cold gas thrusters have quickly been replaced by mono- or bipropellant systems, offering better performance. These systems are especially suited for large satellites, which require a relatively high thrust for stationkeeping. However, the recent interest in micro-satellites has renewed the need for small and lightweight station keeping systems. This area is perfectly suited for cold gas thrusters, as they offer better performance in low-thrust applications, than mono- or bipropellant systems can. This paper describes the development and results of a series of experiments aimed at improving the performance of cold gas thruster nozzles. The techniques used are solely aerodynamic in nature and range from optimising the geometry to boundary layer control. These experiments show the potential of improving cold gas nozzle performance, both in normal applications such as station keeping, as well as special applications such as high altitude atmospheric attitude control.
