NASA Space Technology 5 (ST-5) Launches with Marotta Propulsion System On-Board
Montville, NJ (ContentDesk) April 5, 2006 -- NASAs New Millennium Program is a major step toward the use of a constellation or swarms of small spacecraft to accomplish science that cannot be done with a single spacecraft.
The ST-5 is a constellation of three full-service micro-satellites launched in a polar elliptical orbit, each using a single thruster per craft in a blow-down cold gas system.
After launch, the satellites begin only a few meters apart.
Within approximately 20 days, they are placed into a formation 25 to 125 miles apart from each other to perform coordinated multi-point measurements of the Earths magnetic field. Marottas Cold Gas Micro Thruster (CGMT) is a tiny electromechanical system designed to provide fine attitude adjustments on each of the micro-satellites.
The more than 2200 psia inlet pressure CGMT provides the satellites propulsion with < 1 Watt Peak Power consumption using a low, five volt voltage supply bus this reduces peak power at least 85% and weight by at leas half as much as attitude control systems being used in other missions. The ST-5 launch marks the beginning of a revolutionary program for NASA and the space community, said Michael Leahan, Vice President and Chief Sales Officer of Marotta Controls.
