Abstract
A thruster particularly for maneuvering space vehicles is provided with a device for decomposing liquid fuel into gaseous components. It includes the decomposition chamber and a heating device downstream for further heating and decomposing the gaseous products. The heater is preferably a coiled tube disposed in the inner one of two concentrically nested sleeves, the space between them being a part of a recuperative heat exchanger. The coiled tube ends in the thrust producing nozzle while its other end is connected to the space between the nested tubes.
