This proposal is to develop and test a small solid fueled thruster using an Electrically Controlled Extinguishable Solid Propellant (ECESP). The resultent thruster will combine the simplicity and storability advantages of solid fuel with controllability of the short duration pulsed thrust from a small liquid thruster. The fuel burns only in the presence of electrical current, and extinguishes quickly when that current is removed.Anticipated Benefits/Commercial Applications: Versatile smallsat and microsat propulsion systems will be a key enabling technology for a wide range of Air Force missions in the early 21st century. Flight-qualified PPTs derived from this research could be available to meet this demand in the 2003- 2004 timeframe.
