Performance of a FAKEL K10K Resistojet

Abstract

A model K10K resistojet produced by FAKEL Enterprise was evaluated at steady-state conditions with both nitrogen and xenon propellants. Performance and operational characteristics were documented for cold gas and heater power levels up to 8 W at mass flow rates from 0.02 to 0.2 g/s. Maximum specific impulses of 84 s on nitrogen and 49 s on xenon were achieved at the highest specific power levels tested
