New insights into the reactionary zones excited-state programming by plasma-acoustic coupling mechanism for the next-generation small satellite solid propulsion systems

Small satellites are changing the game for deep space missions because can work together in a fleet to take on more complex missions. Smart control by excited-state of the reactionary zones is one of the keys to access to the properties of the solid propellants reactionary zones. In particular, the self-organized wave patterns excitation occurs at excited-state of the reactionary zones. Use of the plasma-acoustic coupling mechanism is one of the advanced ways to access to the properties of the reactionary zones: the scale and localization of the induction and energy-releasing areas. On the base of detailed analysis we suggest the new concept for the reactionary zones programming by the plasma arc force field emitter with application of the self-organized wave patterns excitation phenomenon. The innovative aspect of this concept is the plasma-acoustic coupling mechanism that transforms the input electrical energy into the directed acoustic energy. Suggested concept for manipulating by self-organized wave patterns in the reactionary zones with using of the plasma arc force field emitters and new generation of the electrically activated solid propellants is opening the door for completely new ways for producing extremely small thrust impulses for the extra-precise attitude control of the small satellites.
