    摘要: The thruster comprises, on a common plate, a plurality of main annular ionization and acceleration channels having axes that are not parallel and that converge in the outlet direction of the channels. A magnetic circuit sets up a magnetic field in the annular channels. The thruster also has a hollow cathode, a device for regulating the ionizable gas feed rate to each annular channel, and a device for controlling the ion discharge acceleration current in the channels. The direction of the thrust vector of the thruster can be controlled without significantly increasing the mass of the thruster.

The rotary assembly of the motor-driven turbopump is adapted to present a high speed of rotation, greater than 12,000 rpm, while remaining outside ranges for exciting critical speeds in rotation. All of the internal portions of the motor-driven turbopump are immersed in a cryogenic fluid that is the same as the liquefied gas contained in the tank. The internal cavities of the motor-driven turbopump that are under different thermodynamic conditions are separated by contactless dynamic seals. Electronic power circuits connected to an electricity network control the central electrical machine in motor mode or generator mode.

    摘要: The electrolytic ignitor comprises an injector constituting a first electrode, a second electrode that is electrically insulated from the injector and that extends downstream beyond the injector, and a distribution channel to deliver a first mono-propellant to a first mono-propellant injector device constituted by at least one injection hole opening out in the vicinity of the second electrode, and an electrical power supply circuit adapted to raise the second electrode to a potential lying in the range 50 V to 1000 V relative to the potential of the first electrode. The electrical power dissipated by ionic conduction in the free jet of the first mono-propellant is suitable for giving rise to spontaneous decomposition of the first mono-propellant and for producing combustion gas that ensures ignition of jets of a second mono-propellant coming from a main injector situated in the vicinity of the second electrode.

The concave inner peripheral surface and the convex outer peripheral surface present respective adjusted profiles that are distinct from circular cylindrical surfaces so as to form between them a gap of varying width presenting zones of maximum value in register with the outer coils and zones of minimum value in between the outer coils so as to create a uniform radial magnetic field.

    摘要: A first satellite is placed practically directly by a launcher on a first final orbit. A second satellite is placed on the same launcher is initially transferred to a highly elliptical waiting orbit whose semi-major axis points to intercept the torus formed by the sphere of influence of the moon on its orbit, and then during a maneuver at the perigee of the highly elliptical orbit, the second satellite is transferred to lunar transfer orbit. Changes in the perigee altitude and the inclination of an intermediate orbit on which the second satellite is to be found are obtained mainly by gravitational reaction in the sphere of influence of the moon, and during a last maneuver, the second satellite is placed on a final orbit having orbital parameter values that are quite different from those of the orbital parameters of the first final orbit.
