                         reliability, low environmental impact and high safety levels 
                         increased the interest for development of hybrid thrusters. This 
                         work describes the design, construction and operationalization of 
                         a stand for testing hybrid thrusters with thrusts up to 500 N. A 
                         400 N hybrid thruster using solid paraffin as fuel and nitrous 
                         oxide as oxidizer was designed, built and tested in the stand. The 
                         thruster includes a pressure swirl injector, an electro thermal 
                         catalytic ignitor and nozzles with and without water cooling. The 
                         stand allows tests with oxidizer tank pressures up to 150 bar, 
                         oxidant mass flow rates up to 600 kg/h controlled by Coriolis flow 
                         meter and controller and includes a data acquisition and control 
                         system with 32 channels.",
