Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for measuring the thrust vector of a small rocket motor used in a vacuum. Background technique
[0002] With the development of the times, space control capabilities play an increasingly important role in a country's security. The weight of chemical fuel carried by chemical rockets accounts for more than 90% of the total weight of the vehicle, and the payload only accounts for about 1%. However, due to the limitation of the chemical energy of the propellant, it is difficult to increase its specific impulse. Therefore, chemical propellants are suitable for short-term, high-thrust propulsion tasks. Relatively speaking, electric rocket propulsion technology can obtain higher carrying efficiency, and is suitable for propulsion tasks with long-term, small and medium thrust, and high specific impulse. At present, for satellites of various purposes, in order to reduce weight and size, improve position...
