Abstract

1470664 Rocket propulsion plant DEFENCE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR 2 Aug 1974 [1 Oct 1973] 45867/73 Headings F1J and F1L A thrust unit for spacecraft comprises a reaction chamber 3 to which propellant is supplied via control valve 1 and a capillary injection tube 7 surrounded by an outer tube 2 sealingly connected to the valve 1. At its upstream end tube 7 is spaced from tube 2 by a collar 11 and braze material 12 forming a low thermal resistance path to a flange 8 acting as a heat sink. Flange 8 is brazed to tube 2 and is attached to valve 1 by screws 9, a sealing gasket 10 being provided. The downstream end of tube 7 may be supported by dimples in tube 2 or by ceramic balls. Tube 7 may be of platinum, stainless steel or nickel alloy. The propellant may be liquid hydrazine.
