Comparison of frequently used satellite propulsion systems at a quick glance

Abstract

In this paper, the motions and positioning of satellite systems in space and orbits, the preferred methods and the comparison of these methods with each other are given. These methods include evacuating a spacecraft or satellite from the Earth's atmosphere and gravity and placing it in the desired orbit, and new generation propulsion systems that have the potential to be used in space travel. Basically, to take an equipment or vehicle out of the atmosphere, an escape velocity must be reached, to reach this velocity a thrust is required. The system and fuel types required to provide this thrust are determined and explained. The systems required for propulsion are classified as chemical propulsion systems, nuclear propulsion systems and electric propulsion systems. Studies and developments related to satellite propulsion systems are given in accordance with the literature.
