VACCO on High Impulse Propulsion System Design for CubeSats at JANNAF Conference

VACCO Chief Engineer Joe Cardin presented a paper on the design of a CubeSat High Impulse Propulsion System at the December 2016 JANNAF conference. The CubeSat High Impulse Propulsion System (CHIPS) is currently under development by CU Aerospace in partnership with VACCO Industries. It is intended for use in CubeSat and micro-satellite platforms expected to execute missions involving more than basic orbit maintenance i.e., substantial altitude changes, formation flying and proximity operations such as rendezvous and docking.

A Comparison of CubeSat Thruster Propellants: ADN & Hydrazine

Hydrazine and its derivatives have been the traditional propellants for spacecraft since the 1960s. It is a conventional rocket fuel. Hydrazine is a hypergolic propellant. As such, it can ignite on contact with an oxidizer and does not require an independent ignition source. This attribute makes hydrazine a particularly well suited monopropellant for spacecraft maneuvering systems that require frequent restarting capability.
