Riassunto
At the moment, it does not exist a low-cost propulsion system in the market capable of providing thrust to CubeSats and MicroSats at the level of functionality and adaptability that these particular platforms require. To fill this gap, this thesis presents the preliminary design of a low cost, adaptable, propulsion unit powered by Hydrogen Peroxide. This affordable system will empower CubeSats, offering them a reliable alternative to low thrust electric propulsion and expensive nitrate blend propulsion systems.
