Abstract: (6080 Views)

The purpose of this paper is to review the application and the status of mono propellant Nitrous oxide (N2O) as a high energetic material in the space industry. Therefore Nitrous oxide is introduced and its usage in propulsion systems is discussed. The results suggest that this compound lies in the development of the miniaturization concept of space propulsion systems. Because of this combination, on the one hand, in viewpoint of thermodynamic properties can be used in cold gas Thruster and on the other hand, in the presence of a liquid fuel can act as an oxidizer in hot gas Thruster. Also, due to the appropriate physical-chemical properties and the possibility of its catalytic decomposition, can act as a mono propellant in hot gas Thruster.

Keywords: Nitrous oxide, Space thrusters, Catalytic decomposition, Oxidizer.
