The invention discloses a
microwave detonation dual-mode space thruster. The
microwave detonation dual-mode space thruster comprises a
propellant supply
system, a high-thrust propelling module and a micro-thrust propelling module, wherein the high-thrust propelling module and the micro-thrust propelling module are sequentially and coaxially arranged from inside to outside; the high-thrust propelling module comprises an
injector, a
plasma ignition
combustion-supporting device, a
detonation chamber, an exhaust
nozzle and the like. The micro-thrust propulsion module comprises a
microwave supply
system, a magnetic pole, a gas collection cavity, a
discharge chamber and a grid
electrode; the microwave supply
system comprises a microwave connector and an antenna; the antenna is a cylindrical antenna, and a
convolution cavity is formed between the antenna and the magnetic pole; outer-layer electrons in electrical substance molecules in the
convolution cavity do
convolution motion in the convolution cavity, and when the convolution
angular frequency is equal to the
microwave frequency,
resonance occurs. The microwave
discharge technology, the
plasma combustion-supporting technology and the pulse detonation
combustion technology are fused, efficient and convenient switching of working
modes is achieved through circuit regulation and control, the thruster can meet the strict requirements of large thrust, high
specific impulse, long service life and the like, and the thruster can be applied to diversified space tasks.
