ABSTRACT:
An electrothermal gas thrust unit for a space vehicle has a thrust chamber with an extension tube extending upstream therefrom. An injector tube leads into the extension tube and a diaphragm contacting the extension tube adjacent its juncture with the injection tube conducts heat away from that juncture to maintain the local temperature at a level below that at which liquid fuel (such as hydrazine) vaporizes.
