Thrust chamber of drive mechanism used for artificial satellites and space vehicles

摘要

Thrust chamber housing for a driving mechanism for space travel applications which is fastened to an injection head with its first end and which includes a combustion chamber housing of a highly heat-resistant steel, a nozzle element of a platinum-iridium alloy, and an expansion nozzle housing of a highly heat-resistant steel, whereby the combustion chamber housing is welded through a first intermediate ring with the nozzle element and the nozzle element is welded through a second intermediate ring with the expansion nozzle housing by means of welded connections, whereby the first and the second intermediate ring are made of a platinum-rhodium alloy.
