| Abstract:
|
The paper at hand presents the initial investigations on the development and fabrication of a micro
thruster based on LTCC technology, delivering a thrust in the micro Newton regime. Using smaller segments of an
observation system distributed on two or more spacecrafts, one can realize an observation platform with a huge
effective aperture. However, when having instruments on several spacecrafts cooperating, a demand arises for
highly accurate positioning of the formation flying spacecrafts. Consequently, the purpose of the micro thruster
being developed here is to facilitate constant elimination of the disturbance forces perturbing the orbits and
attitudes of formation flying spacecrafts. In the flowing the investigations on the dimensioning and the calculations
on the somewhat predictive performance are presented in short form. |
