| Description | Propellant requirements, tankage configurations, preferred propellant management techniques, propulsion systems weights, and technology deficiencies for low thrust expendable propulsion systems are examined. A computer program was utilized which provided a complete propellant inventory (including boil-off for cryogenic cases), pressurant and propellant tank dimensions for a given ullage, pressurant requirements, insulation requirements, and miscellaneous masses. The output also includes the masses of all tanks; the mass of the insulation, engines and other components; total wet system and burnout mass; system mass fraction; total impulse and burn time. |
