Le COMET SPS est une communauté d’experts constituée à l’initiative du CNES et contribuant à l’innovation dans le domaine de la propulsion spatiale. Dans le cadre du développement de la thématique du peroxyde d’hydrogène en France, vous êtes conviés à participer au premier Workshop : applications spatiales du H2O2. Des besoins de plus en plus importants pour les acteurs du spatial et des initiatives pour y répondre ont d’ores et déjà pu être ...

Electric propulsion offers advantages for many missions and applications, but like many spacecraft systems, integration of electric thrusters on spacecraft can lead to significant systems engineering challenges. Assessing thruster plume characteristics and interactions with the spacecraft are crucial to determine thruster positions and other spacecraft design issues. The purpose of the workshop was to draw up a state of play of these plasma plume effects. The program of the day was the ...

This main purpose of this seminar was to make experts in space guidance and electric propulsion exchange on diverse propulsion technologies and on the compliance of these technologies with future missions. But it was also a time to discuss the effects of these technologies on guidance methods. As electric propulsion reaches maturity, it allows studies about new missions in which guidance algorithms have been adapted or renewed. The aim of the seminar ...
