Thrust Evaluation of an Arcjet Thruster Using Dimethyl Ether as Propellant

The present paper describes performance evaluation of a Dimethyl Ether (DME) propellant arcjet thruster. We have proposed to apply DME to arcjet thrusters owing to its favorable characteristics for space propulsion device such as non toxicity, weak chemical reactivity and storability. Thrust measure...
