A Miniature Mass Spectrometer (MMS) with a focal plane (Mattauch-Herzog) geometry has been developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The MMS has the potential to meet the NASA requirements of 10 parts per billion sensitivity for Hydrazine detection, as well as the requirements for instant response, portability, and low maintenance.
This viewgraph presentation is a personal reflection on the development of the monopropellant hydrazine thruster. There is discussion of the problems and the solutions encountered in the development process.
Several instruments have been developed to measure low concentrations of hydrazine but none are completely satisfactory. A brief review is presented of current instruments such as the electrochemical cell, the ion mobility spectrometer, the mass spectrometer, the gas chromatograph, and the electronic nose.
This paper will discuss in detail the preliminary design, analysis, and proof of concept tests with hydrazine that were performed with a crude catalyst bed to determine extent of the reaction.
