    SSC16-V-7 µCAT Micro-Propulsion Solution for Autonomous Mobile On-Orbit Diagnostic System Jonathan Kolbeck, Joseph Lukas, George Teel, Michael Keidar The George Washington University 800 22nd St NW, Washington, DC 20052; +1-202-600-6457 [email protected] Edward Hanlon, Jacob Pittman, Morgan Lange, Jin Kang United States Naval Academy Annapolis, MD 21402; +1-410-293-6411 [email protected] ABSTRACT CubeSat technology and mission envelope has been steadily increasing in the recent years as the CubeSat platform became increasingly popular throughout space community. One of the key technologies that will advance the satellite capability to a higher level is propulsion. Commercially available propulsion system for CubeSats, including electric propulsion units, currently exist. However, the size and power consumption of the current electric propulsion units make them difficult to be integrated to smaller form factor CubeSats with lower power and volume availability. The Micro-Cathode Arc Thruster, a micro-propulsion system developed by The George Washington University, seeks to provide a solution for the power and volume limitations of smaller CubeSats. Four Micro-Cathode thrusters have been successfully integrated and tested in space onboard the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA)’s 1.5 U CubeSat, BRICSat-P. This system will enable satellite developers to plan and build more ambitious and complex CubeSat missions. The thruster gives CubeSats (and other small satellites) the ability to perform orbital maneuvers, orbital corrections, and active attitude control capabilities. The thruster utilizes a metallic propellant (e.g. nickel) to produce thrust. The propellant is ionized to a high degree (usually above 99 %) during the discharge, producing ions with velocities in the magnitude of 104 m/s.

  • Cathode Arc Thruster
    Two-Stage Micro-Propulsion System Based on Micro- Cathode Arc Thruster IEPC-2017-472 Presented at the 35th International Electric Propulsion Conference Georgia Institute of Technology • Atlanta, Georgia • USA October 8 – 12, 2017 Jonathan Kolbeck1 and Michael Keidar2 The George Washington University, Washington, DC,20052, USA The Micro-Cathode Arc Thruster (CAT) developed at The George Washington University is one of the two electric micro-propulsion devices that have been flown on CubeSats to date. We report the development of a two-stage propulsion system based on this technology, which will enable interplanetary CubeSat missions and extended missions in low earth orbit. The device uses a modified version of the CAT system for plasma generation, and an accelerating second stage to accelerate the plasma. I. Introduction mall satellites are a growing market, especially after the introduction of the CubeSat standard in 1999. These S standardized satellites enable small organizations, industry, and educational institutions to launch small, affordable satellites into space. For many countries, such as Slovakia1, Hungary2, Switzerland3, Costa Rica4, and others, CubeSats represent their first means of access to space. Per SpaceWorks’ 2017 forecast (Figure 1), more than 400 satellites in the 1-50 kg class were launched between 2014 and 2016. The market is expected to grow to at least 200 new small satellites per year after 2017. In the last few years, missions have increased in complexity and the mission scopes have broadened.

In these devices very dense, highly ionized plasmas can be created from any metallic or conducting solid used as the cathode. This paper describes theoretical models of performance for several thruster configurations which use vacuum arc plasma sources. This analysis suggests that thrusters using vacuum arc sources can be operated efficiently with a range of propellant options that gives great flexibility in specificimpulse. In addition, the efficiency of plasma production in these devices appears to be largely in- dependent of scale because the metal vapor is ionized within a few microns of the cathode electron emission sites, so this approach is well-suited for micropropulsion.

  • Development of a Vacuum Arc Thruster for Nanosatellite Propulsion
    Development of a vacuum arc thruster for nanosatellite propulsion by Jonathan Lun Thesis presented at Stellenbosch University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Supervisor: Mr R. T. Dobson Co-Supervisor: Prof. W. H. Steyn December 2008 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 15 December 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Abstract This thesis describes the development of a vacuum arc thruster (VAT) to be used as a potential low mass (< 500 g), low power (< 5–10 W) propulsion system for nanosatellites. The thruster uses a high voltage capacitive circuit to initiate and power the arc process with a 400 ns high current (150–800A) pulse. A one-dimensional steady state analytical model describing the cathode region of the vacuum arc was developed. The model made use of mass and energy balances at the sheath region and cathode surface respectively to predict key quantities such as thrust, ion velocity, ion-to-arc current ratio and erosion rate. Predicted results were shown to be within the limits of reported literature ( 63 µN/A, 26.12 km/s, 0.077 and 110 µg/C respectively). A sensitivity analysis of the analytical ∼ model found that a high electric field in the cathode region impedes and decelerates ion flow, which is used for thrust.

Challenges to CubeSat propulsion include volume/mass constraints, availability of sufficiently small and certified hardware, secondary payload status, and power requirements. A multi-mode (chemical and electric) thruster was developed by at the Missouri University of Science and Technology to enable CubeSat propulsion missions. Two satellite buses, a 3U and 6U, are under development to demonstrate the multi-mode thruster’s capabilities.

The DS4G concept is able to operate at very high specific impulse, power and thrust density values well in excess of conventional 3-grid ion thrusters at the expense of a higher power-to-thrust ratio. A small low-power experimental laboratory model was designed and built under a preliminary research, development and test programme, and its performance was measured during an extensive test campaign, which proved the practical feasibility of the overall concept and demonstrated the performance predicted by analytical and simulation models. In the present paper, the basic concept of the DS4G ion thruster is presented, along with the design, operating parameters and measured performance obtained from the first and second phases of the experimental campaign.

  • Electrostatic Ion Thrusters for Space Debris Removal
    Theoretical Physics Electrostatic ion thrusters for space debris removal Oscar Larsson, [email protected] Gustav Hedengren, [email protected] SA114X Degree Project in Engineering Physics, First Level Department of Theoretical Physics Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Supervisor: Christer Fuglesang October 28, 2018 Abstract The current levels of space debris are critical and actions are needed to prevent collisions. In this paper it is examined whether an electrostatic ion thruster can be powerful enough to slow down the debris in a sufficient manner. Furthermore, it is looked into whether the process can be repeated for a significant number of pieces by maneuvering between them. We conclude that the removal process seems possible although some improvements are needed. Maneuvering is costly but despite conservative assumptions, we estimate that about 800 pieces can be removed in one journey made by a satellite weighing ten tonnes of which nine are xenon. Abstract Den nuvarande nivån av rymdskrot är kritisk och åtgärder krävs för att förhindra kollisioner. I denna artikel undersöks det huruvida en elektrostatisk jonkanon är kraftfull nog för att bromsa skrot tillräckligt. Fortsättningsvis undersöks det om denna process är effectiv nog för att återupprepas för ett betydande antal bitar, inklusive manövrering bitarna emellan. Vi drar slutsatsen att processen verkar möjlig att genomföra även om vissa förbättringar behövs. Manövreringen är kostsam men trots konservativa antaganden uppskattar vi att ungefär 800 bitar kan tas ned under en resa av en satellit med vikt 10 ton varav nio ton är xenon.
