9 SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES Propulsion system provides thrust; to move the spacecraft to rotate the spacecraft about its center of mass It s required for the following maneuvers; Launch Transfer orbit Orbit insertion Orbit maintenance Attitude control maneuvers Deorbiting 17 UNCLASSIFIED 18 UNCLASSIFIED 9

10 SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES What does mission require? Which maneuvers are mandatory? Decision on the Right Propulsion Types!! Launcher Spacecraft Propulsion Type Launch Transfer Orbit Maneuver Orbit Insertion (Launch Errors) Orbit Maintenance Attitude Control Cold Gas X X Chemical Solid X X X Liquid Monopropellant X X X X Bipropellant X X X X X Electric X X X 19 UNCLASSIFIED Cold gas propulsion system uses the pre-stored energy of a compressed gas to develop thrust. Simple and safe Due to the low thrust and Isp values, they are widely used; in low mass satellites (Proba-2, Slosh-Sat, BilSAT-1) for attitude control and minor orbital maneuvers Propulsion Type Isp (s) Thrust Cold Gas Nitrogen (N 2 ) Hydrogen (H 2 ) ,1-5 N 20 UNCLASSIFIED 10

11 SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES Propulsion Type Isp (s) Thrust Advantages Disadvantages Chemical Liquid Monopropellant Bipropellant ,1 N 5 MN - High thrust - Extensive heritage - Only moderate Isp - Toxic/hazardous material - Safety problems - Combustion complications Liquid-propellant systems have the most extensive heritage and wide usage. 21 UNCLASSIFIED Monopropellant systems; Thrust is generated by decomposition of the pressurized propellant passing through a catalyst. Used especially for the Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites to achieve: Orbit insertion Orbit maintanence Attitude control Deorbiting There are many achieved missions such as Göktürk-2, Göktürk-1, Pleiades, GeoEye, Terrasar-X 22 UNCLASSIFIED 11

12 SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES Bipropellant systems; Thrust is generated by combustion of fuel and oxidiser stored at different tanks. These systems are used especially for Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites to achieve: Transfer orbit Orbit insertion Orbit maintanence Attitude control Deorbiting Some examples: TÜRKSAT 2A-3A, HotBird 7A, Chinasat-9, Eutelsat W3A 23 UNCLASSIFIED Propulsion Type Isp (s) Thrust Advantages Disadvantages Electric Electro-thermal Electro-magnetic Electro-static ,1 mn 20 N - High Isp - Limited heritage - Low thrust - High power consumption - Expensive Electric propulsion is a technology aimed at achieving thrust with high exhaust velocities, which results in a reduction in the amount of propellant required compared to other conventional propulsion methods. Reduced propellant mass can significantly decrease the launch mass of a spacecraft or satellite, leading to lower costs from the use of smaller launch vehicles to deliver a desired mass into a given orbit or to a deepspace target. 24 UNCLASSIFIED 12

13 SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES SPACECRAFT PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES Electric Propulsion Electro-thermal Electro-static Electro-magnetic Used to heat a fluid or gas, which is vented out an exhaust nozzle to produce thrust. Hydrazine is the common propellant. Resistojet and Arcjet motors LMC7000, A2100, AMSAT- Phase 3-D, Intelsat-5 F-2 Works by creating ions out of a stable gas (generally by electron bombardment). Xenon is the common propellant. Ion and Hall effect thrusters GOCE, AEHV-SV2, SMART- 1, MEASAT 3.. Works by accelerating charged fluid by utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. Pulsed plasma (PPT) Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters (MPDT) FalconSat-3, EO UNCLASSIFIED Example scenario: GTO-GSO maneuver of TURKSAT-4A (Launch Vehicle: Proton M-Breeze) Launch Mass 4850 kg GTO Parameters Perigee (H p ) Apogee (H a ) 9673 km km Inclination (i) 12.7º dv-to-gso 985 m/s Parameter Chemical Propulsion Electric Propulsion Specific Impulse (Isp) 320 s 1500 s Thrust 400 N 90 mn Propellant Mass 1300 kg 315 kg Thrust Duration 170 minutes 600 days Electric propulsion is NOT desirable for GTO-GSO maneuvers. 26 UNCLASSIFIED 13

15 TAI has been experienced in chemical propulsion systems during GOKTURK satellites development programs. Advantages of electric propulsion are undeniable. TAI encourages and follows the technological developments on electric propulsion. TAI aims to support the national plasma propulsion system development programs as being the prime user of those systems. TAI greatly appreciates the technical opportunities of plasma technologies for the future satellite programs. 29 UNCLASSIFIED 30 UNCLASSIFIED 30 15
