A water-flow test for acceptance verification is carried out for a nonimpinging-type injector prior to the design-performance verification of hydrazine thruster under development. The injector used in the experiment is to be equipped on the hydrazine thruster producing 70 N of nominal thrust at an inlet pressure of 24.6 $kg_f/cm^2$. It is observed that there exist varying characteristics of atomization among the injector-nozzle orifices caused by a fabrication error which can be judged from a microscopic standpoint. On the other hand, all of the injector orifices are placed within the design criteria in an injection-angle performance.

CanSat has being attracted considerable attentions for the use as training purposes owing to its advantage that can implement overall system functions of typical commercial satellites within a small package like a beverage can. So-called P.P.T CanSat (Power Plant Trio Can Satellite), proposed in this study, is the name of a CanSat project which have participated in 2015 domestic CanSat competition. Its main objective is to self-power on a LED and a MEMS sensor module by using electrical energy harvested from solar, wind and piezo energy harvesting systems. This study describes the system design results, payload level function tests, flight test results and lessons learned from the flight tests.

The satellite is exposed to the severe vibration environments such as random vibration environments such as random vibration, acceleration, shock, and acoustics during launch ascent and transportation. It is also faced with various space environments such as thermal vacuum, radiation and microgravity during the mission life. The satellite should be designed, manufactured, assembled and tested to be able to endure in these harsh environments. This paper addresses the results of the structural and thermal design and analyses for the HAUSAT-1 picosatellite which is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2005 by Russian launch vehicle "Dnepr". The qualification vibration and thermal vacuum tests have been conducted and passed at the satellite level to ensure that the HAUSAT-1 mechanical system was designed to be stable with enough margin.
