Research Topic: Design and Improvement of a Double Stage Pulsed Plasma Thruster for Micro CubeSAT
Internsihip Period: 2017/Aug./01~2017/Sep./22
The present report contains researches, ideas and work done during my Master internship. Researches have been made in the Zap Lab of Professor Li Yueh-Heng, in the Department of Aeronautics and Astrophysics of the prestigious National Cheng Kung University (NCKU-Tainan-Taiwan).
This document is focused on the achievement of a design for a double stage pulsed plasma thruster with the help of Catia V5. This work was also based on the researches regarding space propulsion needed to understand and realize the micro thruster. In the next sections, a description of the existing built of PPT, all plan of the one realized and manufactured but also all documents related to the development of an additional piece imagined to improve the efficiency of this thruster will be documented.
