The development program for a satellite propulsion system at INPE (Brazil) is presented. All components for the reaction control system, including hydrazine tank, fill and drain valve, hydrazine filter, control valve and monopropellant hydrazine catalytic thruster are being built and tested. The system is designed to satisfy the propulsion requirements of a three-axis stabilized remote sensing satellite designed by INPE, to be launched in 1995. The thruster test facility and measurement techniques are described.
