This paper develop a calculus model based on dedicated experiment for an innovative Reaction Control System (RCS) using hybrid rocket engine technology. Our RCS uses several hybrid micro-thrusters with their thrust modulated by a separate control system. For RCS, each of the thrusters is able to burn a few minutes and its thrust is modulated within certain limits by controlling the oxidizer flow. These studies were presented in RAST 2013 and are based on our own experiments performed in Electromecanica Ploiesti. Based on this concept we achieve a calculation of the performances of the RCS and make a comparison between theoretical and experimental results. Conclusions and discussions will be focused on technological possibilities to improve RCS performance and possible areas of application of it.
