Electrokinetically Pumped Liquid Propellant Microthrusters for Orbital Station Keeping

For most orbital maneuvers, small satellites in the sub-10 kg range require thrusters capable of spanning the micro-Newton to milli-Newton force range. At this scale, electrokinetic (EK) pumping offers precise metering of monergolic or hypergolic liquid propellants under purely electrical control at...
