 Thrusters

 

Thrusters (LRE of small thrust) are intended for generation of steering forces in order to change attitude of space vehicles in orbit.

 

thruster of 100 N

thruster of 30 N

thruster of 30 N

 

 

Their advantages are:

·     low mass and overall dimensions;

·     increased pressure tightness;

·     high response;

·     long service life;

·     high reliability;

·     operation in both continuous and pulse modes;

·      consumption of saturated and unsaturated propellants;

·      availability of pressure annunciator for telemetry control of the thruster operation.
