The thruster valve, which is one of the key components applied to the mono-propellant system for the satellite, has a circular plate spring structure. It can be designed as a structure that does not have positional deformation and particles by friction and repetitive motion. In this study, finite element analysis and verification were performed by setting the width of the circular plate spring as a design parameter with the material, thickness and radius of the circular plate spring as fixed variables. The linearity of the spring constant is shown by the graph that is spring force with displacement. It is confirmed that the optimization design of the circular plate spring is possible by the spring force tendency according to the total area of circular plate spring.
