    摘要: In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides a thruster that utilizes a nanothermite material as a propellant. The thruster generally includes a body having at least one sidewall and a bottom wall that define a propellant chamber having a closed repulsion end and an opposing open exhaust end. The thruster additionally includes a nanothermite propellant configured within the propellant chamber to have a selected density that dictates a reaction propagation rate of the nanothermite propellant such that the reaction propagation rate will have a selected one of two distinctly different force-time profiles.
