| description | A control assembly for a spacecraft includes a propellant management assembly configured to adjust a supply of propellant from a storage unit to a thrust generator. The control assembly further includes a controller having a processor configured to receive an input from the spacecraft, and receive at least one input from the propellant management assembly or from the thrust generator. The processor is further configured to, based on the inputs, determine a desired operating mode of the thrust generator, and based on the determination, either 1) send an output to the propellant management assembly to operate in a first mode in which the thrust generator uses propellant to electrostatically generate thrust or 2) send an output to the propellant management assembly to operate in a second mode in which the thrust generator uses propellant to gas-dynamically generate thrust. |
