A side thruster module, comprises: a cavity-type body skin extending in a longitudinal direction; a first thruster arranged in the body skin and extending in a longitudinal direction; and a conversion nozzle arranged in the body skin and extending in a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, for converting a direction of a thrust generated from the first thruster in the longitudinal direction into the radial direction. A large number of thrusters can be mounted at the side thruster module thus to generate a high thrust, and the side thruster module can be slim in the radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
