In the technical literature, there is a lack of reliable thermal parameters and, often, it necessary to do in situ measurements for every particular material. An effective conductivity measurement system has been designed and implemented provide accurate values that parameter. The given material deduced from resistance differential two samples. All parts as well practical theoretical solutions are described, including power controller circuit exclusively conceived this application....
The increasing application of microsatellites (from 10 kg up to 100 kg) for a rising number various missions requires the development suitable propulsion systems. Microsatellites have special requirements system such as small mass, reduced volume, and very stringent electrical power constraints. Existing systems often can not satisfy these requirements. present paper discusses test bipropellant thruster complying with main goal this effort was utilization ethanol in combination hydrogen...
Micro-satellites (from 10 kg up to 100 kg) have mass, volume, and electrical power constraints due their low dimensions. These limitations lead the lack in currently available active orbit control systems micro-satellites. Therefore, a micro-propulsion system with high thrust mass ratio is required increase potential functionality of small satellites. Mechatronic presently working on liquid bipropellant micro-rocket engine under contract ESA (Contract No.16914/NL/Sfe - Microturbomachinery...
