DETONATION REACTION CONTROL (SMALL IMPULSE ENGINE).
Abstract
The report describes quantitatively the performance characteristics of four models of the detonation engines. The four models were developed and tested using a nitrogen tetroxide/hydrazine hypergolic propellant combination. The report includes a comparative systems analysis which points out the potential areas of application for the detonation engine. The analysis indicates that the detonation engine is best suited to low duty cycle applications which require very small impulse bits, such as tight limit cycle control of a satellite, or control of a spinning satellite by spin axis precession.
