Electrokinetic pumping of liquid propellants for small satellite microthruster applications

For most orbital maneuvers, small satellites weighing less than 10 kg require propulsion systems capable of producing thrust in the micro-Newton to milli-Newton force range. At this scale, electrokinetic (EK) pumping offers a method to precisely meter liquid propellants under purely electrical contr...
