Abstract
To realize reliably addressing ignition for large-scale solid propellant micro-thruster array, the addressing ignition control system and igniting circuit for solid propellant micro-thruster array were studied based on FPGA controller and USB interface. The hardware and software were designed, and thrust response time was analyzed. The investigation results show that rapid and efficient igniting control of large-scale micro-thruster arrays can be realized by using the system, and the design of igniting circuit accords with the row-column addressing method.
