Abstract

A magnetic field regulation type large-area microcavity discharge plasma micro-thruster for liquid working substances is characterized in that a propellant working substance feeding mechanism diffuses a liquid propellant in a liquid propellant storage tank into a discharge microcavity, the discharge microcavity comprises metal sheets and insulation dielectrics, a hole with unequal diameters penetrates through the metal sheets, the insulation dielectrics are clamped between two adjacent metal sheets, and every two adjacent metal sheets form one electrode pair; a Laval-cavity nozzle is formed by the metal sheet at the tail end of the discharge microcavity and the corresponding insulation dielectrics, the insulation dielectrics constitute a contraction section and an expansion section of the Laval-cavity nozzle, an anode metal sheet constitutes the throat part of the Laval-cavity nozzle, and the anode metal sheet and a cathode metal sheet located at an outlet of the expansion section of the Laval-cavity nozzle constitute one electrode pair; at least one electrode pair is arranged at the horizontal section of the Laval-cavity nozzle; an external power supply module provides periodic alternating-current or direct-current high-voltage pulse voltage and is connected to every electrode pair by wires; a ring-shaped permanent magnet is mounted on the outer side of the pipe wall of the discharge microcavity in a sleeving manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a large-area micro-cavity discharge plasma space micro-propulsion based on magnetic field modulation, which is especially suitable for micro-propulsion systems with high integration, low power consumption, precise impulse, and high specific impulse for space micro-spacecraft work needs. Background technique [0002] The urgent need for micro-propulsion technology for space miniaturized platforms stems from the vigorous development of micro-nano satellites in this century. After entering the 21st century, micro-nano satellite networking technology has developed rapidly and become increasingly mature, which enables micro-nano satellites to perform the functions of traditional large satellites while having the advantages of short cycle, low risk, flexible launch methods, and strong scalability . Due to the small size, light weight and small moment of inertia of the micro-nano satellite, the thrust required for satellite orbit an...
