Colloid Thruster to Teach Advance Electric Propulsion Techniques to Post-Secondary Students

Colloid thrusters, and electrospray thrusters as a whole, have been around since the 1960s. When they were first developed, the high efficiency and fine thrust control was overshadowed by the high power requirement for such a low thrust that the system provides.
