A spacecraft-borne propulsion device includes a propellant storage mechanism including a propellant storage container that stores a propellant in a vapor-liquid equilibrium state or a liquid phase, the propellant being ethanol or an aqueous ethanol solution; a propellant transport mechanism configured to supply, with an electric pump, the propellant under pressurization to a pressure exceeding 1 atm at room temperature; a gas heating mechanism including a heater including a separate heater for heating up connected via a check valve; a thruster head mechanism having a nozzle that generates a thrust with a heated gas; and a power supply mechanism including a storage battery for driving the electric pump and the heater for heating up. The propellant storage mechanism, the propellant transport mechanism, the gas heating mechanism, and the thruster head mechanism are connected in series.
