10 N Bi-Propellant Thruster Reliable control of large spacecraft All the space you need Heritage The 10 N thruster is a small rocket engine for attitude, The thrusters are equipped with propellant valves 10 N Thrusters in Space trajectory and orbit control of large satellites and from either MOOG, USA, or from EADS Space More than 90 spacecraft are equipped with deep space probes. Transportation, France and Germany, depending on EADS-ST’s 10 N thrusters. Most of them with either customer's request. The thruster is an All European 12 or 14 units. It can look back on more than 35 years use in space. Product when equipped with the EADS Space Over thousend units have controlled numerous inter- Transportation valve.

Design Description The 10 N bi-propellant thruster uses the storable Three types of propellant flow control valves may be propellants N2O4, MON-1 or MON-3 as oxidizer, applied: and MMH as fuel. It is designed for both, long term steady state and pulse mode operation. It operates in a wide pressure range at regulated pressure as well as in system blow down mode. • Thruster S10-13 with single seat, mono-stable, torque motor valve (supplier MOOG, USA) • Thruster S10-18 with dual seat valve, consisting of an upstream latch valve and a downstream Combustion chamber and nozzle are made of a Platinum alloy that requires no surface coating. mono-stable valve (supplier MOOG, USA) • Thruster S10-23 with dual seat valve, consisting of an upstream latch valve and a downstream It allows operational temperatures up to 1,500° C mono-stable valve (supplier EADS Space (2,700° F) and thus maximum thruster performance. Transportation, Germany) The uncoated surface is absolutely resistant against The thruster performance is identical for all valves. oxidization and thus invulnerable to mishandling, to application of test sensors, to millions of pulse cycles. Trimming orifices between valve and injector provide for individual adjustment of the propellant flow, according to the designed system pressure. The application of heaters and thermistors for thermal control is provided on request.
