SCAT Thrusters

[edit]

A question, should not the SCAT thrusters be in included in the space propulsion list? Excerpt from; https://patents.google.com/patent/EP0919464A1/en

       A rocket propulsion system for spacecraft achieves greater economy, reliability and efficiency rocket by incorporating monopropellant RCS thrusters (1a-1f) for attitude control and bipropellant SCAT thrusters (5a-5c) for velocity control. Both sets of thrusters are designed to use the same liquid fuel, supplied by a pressurized non-pressure regulated tank, and operate in the blow down mode.
       A new propulsion system is proposed and a new bi-propellant thruster construction is described that has dual mode capability. That thruster construction is presently referred to as a Secondary Combustion Augmented Thrusters or, simply, as a "SCAT" thruster.

This is not the only site referencing this thruster. I have encountered indications this is a relatively recent application. Comments? Qψîδz•—>Quisizyx talk 22:05, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
