An Integrated RF Power Delivery and Plasma Micro-Thruster System for Nano-Satellites

An Integrated RF Power Delivery and Plasma Micro-Thruster System for Nano-Satellites

Progress in satellite technologies is ongoing and eventually finds applications back on Earth. Electric propulsion systems have been proven effective on large scale satellites (NASA DAWN) with better propellant efficiency than chemical or cold gas propulsion, and if miniaturized can be promising for...
