4.3.2.3 Baseline design<br />

HMM<br />

Assessment Study<br />

Report: CDF-20(A)<br />

February 2004<br />

page 269 of 422<br />

Four YUZHNOYE RD 861-G gas generator bi-propellant NTO-UDMH thrusters have been<br />

chosen as propulsion system for this module.<br />

The engine derives from a well known thruster used in Tsyklon 2 nd and 3 rd stage. Recently this<br />

engine was improved with an increase of the Isp performances, a higher restart capability and<br />

reduced mass. This engine was also studied as possible application for the VEGA.<br />

The propulsion system for Surface Habitation Module presents the following characteristics:<br />

Characteristic Value<br />

Number of thruster 4<br />

Thrust 76.5 kN<br />

Isp 325 sec<br />

Exit diameter 808 mm<br />

Length 1600 mm<br />

Thruster mass 185 kg<br />

Propellant UDMH/NTO<br />

O/F ratio 2.4<br />

Number of tanks 2+2 Cylindrical<br />

Tanks material Ti<br />

Max MEOP 7 bar<br />

Mass of UDMH tank 11.1 kg (each)<br />

Mass of NTO tank 16.5 kg (each)<br />
