Abstract

This paper shows a preliminary design of a cold gas engine, equipped with an aerospike nozzle, for space applications. This work is part of the MACARONIS project, which aims to develop, manufacture and qualify a ceramic aerospike nozzle for future space missions. Two designs are developed, one consisting of a single fluid line and one featuring redundant components. A genetic algorithm was created to optimize the two conï¬ gurations.
