    摘要: A compact single-propellant unitary propulsion system for placing a satellite into an orbit and subsequently correcting the orbit so that the satellite is stabilized on three axes comprises a liquid propellant tank secured to a satellite platform and having a reinforced bottom wall with an outlet and filter element, a distribution block welded to the reinforced bottom wall, at least one filling/emptying value mounted on the distribution block, and a set of at least two thrusters mounted on the distribution block and fed directly from the distribution block without additional pipework. The set of at least two thrusters point substantially along the axis of the tank, which is aligned with the axis of the satellite. The propulsion system may be fully assembled before it is integrated with the satellite.
