| 英文摘要 | Very low Earth orbit (VLEO) satellites are confronted with the challenge of orbital decay caused by thin atmospheres, and the volume and power limitations of micro satellites further restrict the application of traditional electric propulsion systems. In response to the above requirements, this study proposes an innovative scheme of radio frequency plasma micro-thrusters based on magnetic nozzle acceleration technology. By optimizing the magnetic nozzle configuration through the system, the plasma confinement efficiency was significantly enhanced. Combined with the mixed working medium (5 sccm Xe + 10 sccm air), the thrust reached 1.7 mN at a power of 130 W. Experiments show that the configuration of the magnetic nozzle directly affects the plasma beam morphology and ionization efficiency, and a multi-magnet layout can form a stable trumpet-shaped plume. The air in the mixed working medium has a linear relationship with the thrust gain (60 mu N/sccm), but xenon gas is required as a "seed" to maintain the discharge stability. The optimized magnetic nozzle enables the thruster to achieve both high thrust density (13.1 mu N/W) and working medium adaptability at a power level of hundreds of watts. This research provides a low-cost and miniaturized propulsion solution for very low Earth orbit satellites. Its magnetic nozzle-hybrid propellant collaborative mechanism holds significant engineering significance for the development of air-aspirating electric propulsion technology. |
