A Directional Microplasma Thruster Exhibiting a Switchable Intense Plasma Coupling
Conventional cold and warm gas thrusters with low specific impulses and thrust greatly limit the capability of nanosatellites to conduct meaningful plane and attitude changes in space. This work shows that a novel flexible microplasma thruster (FPT) technology can yield high thrust performance at su...
