2 Propulsion Workshop 23 March, 2011 Requirements: Delta V Performance – Isp, volumes, steering, arc-following ACS Performance – Prop. control, coupled thrusters, min. I-bit, slew, GN&C I/F Packaging – LV I/F, primary structure attachment, staging, servicing, wet/dry mass – Switch circuits, power, telemetry, control, fault protection Environments – G, vibr., shock, temp. – ESD, magnetics Reliability – Life, cycles, redundancy Non-propellant propulsion Schedule Cost 2

3 Propulsion Workshop 23 March, 2011 Progress RCS Tanks – where is the propellant ET – temp control, packaging hydrogen Magellan – steering a solid, staging MGS – Dual mode, aerobraking Cassini – Big delta V, suppliers Stardust – fuel remaining, low cost XSS-11 – min. I-bit, low cost MRO – Keep it simple Phoenix – Pulsed thrusters Juno – environments, spinner Orion – many mission possibilities 3
