Abstract

Drive mechanism of multi-axis pintle thrusters for DCS(Divert Control System) was designed to meet the needs of minimizing the number of driving motors. In this study, preliminary model was designed in order to implement appropriate pressure control and thrust distribution. Based on the preliminary model study, the drive mechanism for DCS multi-axis pintle thrusters using piston was designed and evaluated by using AMESim software. Results show that three driving motors are enough to actuate four pintle thrusters.

궤도천이용 추력기 시스템에 활용되는 다축 핀틀 추력기 시스템의 구동장치 개수 감소에 대한 필요성으로부터 구동장치 연동 메커니즘을 고안하였다. 본 연구에서는 궤도천이용 추력기 시스템의 주요 임무인 압력제어와 추력분배가 가능한 시스템 설계를 위해 구동장치 개수 감소 가능성 확인 모델을 설계하였다. 가능성 확인 모델을 근거로 피스톤을 적용한 연동 메커니즘을 고안하였고, 수치적 근거와 더불어 AMESim을 활용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 3개의 구동장치로 4개의 핀틀 추력기가 구동 가능하다는 결과를 얻었다.
