Thrusters (spacecraft) (original) (raw)
A thruster is a spacecraft propulsion device used for orbital station-keeping, attitude control, or long-duration, low-thrust acceleration, often as part of a reaction control system. A vernier thruster or gimbaled engine are particular cases used on launch vehicles where a secondary rocket engine or other high thrust device is used to control the attitude of the rocket, while the primary thrust engine (generally also a rocket engine) is fixed to the rocket and supplies the principal amount of thrust. Some devices that are used or proposed for use as thrusters are:

| dbo:abstract | A thruster is a spacecraft propulsion device used for orbital station-keeping, attitude control, or long-duration, low-thrust acceleration, often as part of a reaction control system. A vernier thruster or gimbaled engine are particular cases used on launch vehicles where a secondary rocket engine or other high thrust device is used to control the attitude of the rocket, while the primary thrust engine (generally also a rocket engine) is fixed to the rocket and supplies the principal amount of thrust. Some devices that are used or proposed for use as thrusters are: * Cold gas thruster * Electrohydrodynamic thruster, using ionized air (only for use in an atmosphere) * Electrodeless plasma thruster, electric propulsion using ponderomotive force * Electrostatic ion thruster, using high-voltage electrodes * Hall effect thruster, a type of ion thruster * Ion thruster, using beams of ions accelerated electrically * Magnetoplasmadynamic thruster, electric propulsion using the Lorentz force * Pulsed inductive thruster, a pulsed form of ion thruster * Pulsed plasma thruster, using current arced across a solid propellant * RF resonant cavity thruster, an electromagnetic thruster using microwaves (en) |
