REPORT ON SATELLITE AND SPACE PROPULSION SYSTEMS (in Italian)

Journal Article · · Riv. Aeron.
OSTI ID:4717291
Low-thrust propulsion systems that can be used to extend satellite orbits, to control or modify satellite orbits, and for lunar and interplanetary exploration are surveyed. The most feasible combinations of energy sources (chemicals, radioisotopes, solar rays, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion), electric generators (chemical batteries, radioisotope batteries, thermopiles, solar batteries, turboelectric generators, and plasma induction), and thrust generators (voltaic arc chambers, ion accelerators, plasma accelerators, and photon accelerators) to yield low-thrust propulsion systems are discussed.
