Abstract:

Electrically controlled solid propulsion technology, including propellant-related technology and engine technology, realizes repeated engine start and real-time adjustable thrust by using a new type of propellant with electrically controlled combustion. With the advantages of being simple and reliable, this thrust adjustment method has a wide range of applications in the field of power systems for missile weapons and satellites. However, electrically controlled solid propellants are not mature enough, and various formulation systems need to be further optimized. Although electrically controlled solid engines have been verified, there is still a large distance between the engine performance and actual application requirements. This paper comprehensively compares the technologies related with the electrically controlled solid propulsion, summarizes the latest research results in the field of this technology, and finally predicts the future development of electrically controlled solid propulsion technology, so as to provide some reference for the subsequent research.

Key words: controllable solid propulsion, electrically controlled solid propellant, decomposition characteristics, ignition combustion characteristics, solid rocket motor, solid micro-thruster
