Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN)-based green propellant as alternative energy resource for potential hydrazine substitution: From lab scale to pilot plant scale-up
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a HAN-based liquid monopropellant, SHP163, as green propellant for green rocket propulsion for the "Innovative Satellite Technology" project.
Journal ArticleDOI
MEMS-Based Solid Propellant Rocket Array Thruster
Shuji Tanaka,Ryuichiro Hosokawa,Shin Ichiro Tokudome,Keiichi Hori,Hirobumi Saito,Masashi Watanabe,Masayoshi Esashi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the prototype of a solid propellant rocket array thruster for simple attitude control of a 10 kg class micro-spacecraft was completed and tested, and the prototype has 10×10 φ0.8 mm solid-rockets arrayed at a pitch of 1.2 mm on a 20×22 mm substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Test of B/Ti multilayer reactive igniters for a micro solid rocket array thruster☆
Shuji Tanaka,Kazuyuki Kondo,Hiroto Habu,Akihito Itoh,Masashi Watanabe,Keiichi Hori,Masayoshi Esashi +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, reactive B/Ti multilayer igniters were investigated for the noncontact ignition of a micro solid rocket array thruster in vacuum, and three sizes of three sizes were fabricated and tested in six configurations of solid propellant.
Journal ArticleDOI
New HAN-based mixtures for reaction control system and low toxic spacecraft propulsion subsystem: Thermal decomposition and possible thruster applications
Rachid Amrousse,Toshiyuki Katsumi,Noboru Itouyama,Nobuyuki Azuma,Hideshi Kagawa,Keigo Hatai,Hirohide Ikeda,Keiichi Hori +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of methanol addition; as fuel; on the burning rates of HAN-based liquid monopropellant was demonstrated, and different catalysts were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
HAN and ADN as liquid ionic monopropellants: Thermal and catalytic decomposition processes
TL;DR: In this article, the essential effect of monopropellant concentrations to determine the best green propellants for industrial applications as reaction control systems was analyzed, and it was shown that HAN and ADN solutions are more efficient for catalytic decomposition due to the absence of stabilizer to inhibit catalysts.
