Emission Characteristics of Passively Fed Electrospray Microthrusters with Propellant Reservoirs

The characterization of a miniaturized ionic liquid electrospray thruster for nanosatellite applications is presented. The thruster investigated features an emitter array of 480 emitter tips per square centimeter and a 1  cm3 propellant tank with an entirely passive propellant supply; it is operated...
