摘要
This paper presents the design of the cold gas propulsion system for a small satellite. The suitable propellant for a certain mission was selected from the commonly used cold gas propellants, using the estimate target of effective specific impulse, in which the mass of the tank was considered. Then, the basic design of the micro thruster was conducted. In the end, a cold nitrogen gas propulsion system with the micro thruster of 20 mN was designed by the proposed methods.
