| Description |
Miniature satellites currently employ hydrazine monopropellant microthrusters for onboard propulsion systems for altitude and attitude corrections. Efforts are now underway to replace this toxic hydrazine with the green monopropellant blended-Hydroxyl Ammonium Nitrate (HAN). The performance characteristics of the supersonic nozzle of a 10N class HAN-based monopropellant microthruster have been numerically investigated, so as to arrive at a design methodology for such micronozzles.
