Path: Propulsion/Chemical
% Design a propulsion system for a low-earth orbit satellite We assume a constant orbit for drag purposes. You can add any number of Hohmann transfers and any number of phase changes. You can add other maneuvers to this script. We assume a blowdown system with helium as the pressurant. The momentum calculations assume a fixed center-of-mass offset. If one thruster overwhelms the RWA capacity it recommends a 4 thruster configuration. In that case you use off-pulsing during maneuvers.
