Zusammenfassung:	A space propulsion system can serve miniaturised satellites, but can be scaled easily, and includes: a combustion chamber implemented by a cylindrical container having cylindrical walls, a first end provided with at least an injection duct for a combustion agent, a fuel and/or a mixture thereof, for the injection according to a direction tangential to the cylindrical walls so as to induce a helical combustion path in the combustion chamber, a possible additional perpendicular injection duct for a fuel or a combustion agent, and an opposite end provided with a discharge duct arranged according to a direction tangential to the cylindrical walls so as to receive and direct the helical path, wherein the cylindrical walls in case have a deposition of catalytic material inside thereof, for accelerating the combustion reaction; and a supersonic nozzle, connected to the discharge duct for discharging the combustion products in the combustion chamber.
