Designing space propulsion systems as one of the important subsystems of the spacecrafts and upper stage space launch systems needs to bypass different and complicated steps. In this article the comprehensive process of designing liquid fuel low-thrust space propulsion systems was illustrated. In the presented pattern, first of all according to the requirements and mission constraints, the main characteristics of the system were determined and then other characteristics were extracted. Finally, for the evaluation of the presented pattern, a low-thrust space propulsion system was designed based on a special mission and the results were compared with a real model. Comparison between the designed space propulsion system and the real one showed an appropriate accuracy of the presented pattern
