Main Performance of Monopropellant <strong>Systems</strong><br />
Thrust level: 0.5 ÷ 22N for satellites, up <strong>to</strong> 450 N for e.g. Ariane third stage auxiliary<br />
propulsion<br />
Impulse bit: ≥ 10 -2 Ns (with thruster minimum on-time of 20 ms)<br />
Thruster-spec. Impulse: ≤ 2300 Ns/kg [≡ve (m/s)] for continuous mode operation<br />
Thruster-spec. Impulse: ≈ 1900 ÷ 2200 Ns/kg for pulse mode operation<br />
System-spec. Impulse: ≤ 1860 Ns/kg
