Cold gas thrusters

Cold gas thrusters are propulsion devices used primarily in spacecraft. They operate by expelling a stored gas, usually inert and at low temperatures, to create thrust. When the gas is released from a nozzle, it pushes the spacecraft in the opposite direction, allowing for maneuvering or fine adjustments in orbit. These thrusters are simple, reliable, and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for small satellites and spacecraft. Their main advantage is the ability to provide precise control without the complications of combustion or complex engines, making them essential for delicate operations in space.
