Home Cu Aerospace This is an ultralight vehicle testbed designed and built by seniors at cu boulder. Cu aerospace proposes the ground test validation of a nanosat primary propulsion subsystem using non toxic propellant with 3 axis acs for orbit change and or de orbit capability, precision maneuvering, and drag makeup.
Home Cu Aerospace Cubesat high impulse propulsion system (chips) operation: two operational modes: warm gas mode for higher specific impulse, large total impulse or collision avoidance maneuvers cold gas mode for minimum or small total impulse maneuvers (attitude & roll control) overall control authority: roll, pitch, yaw, ±x y z. The cubesat high impulse propulsion system (chips) leverages cu aerospace’s high efficiency and compact resistojet technology. Cua cubesat high impulse propulsion system (chips) october 2019 the cu aerospace (cua) vacco cubesat high impulse chips 1u r134a performance: atitude control system (acs). chips achieves a high total impulse to volume rat. To validate its performance of the thruster without the integration of a dedicated feeding system and a power processing unit (ppu), a miniaturized development model of an acft underwent a 1650 hour endurance test, followed by a subsequent end of test characterization.

The cubesat high impulse propulsion system (chips), under development by cu aerospace with partner vacco industries, is designed to enable cubesat mission operations beyond simple orbit. In this system, concentrated solar energy is used to directly heat the propellant. as the propellant enters the nozzle at an elevated temperature, a significantly enhanced thrust and an increased specific impulse relative to a regular cold gas flow are observed. Cua’s cubesat high impulse propulsion system (chips) is a miniaturized, well integrated propulsion solution tailored for small satellites, combining both a main thruster and a three axis attitude control system (acs). A high fidelity, fully integrated engineering unit was extensively tested in cold and warm gas modes on the university of illinois thrust stand under a range of conditions. this paper presents thrust and specific impulse data for the resistojet thruster using two different propellants.
