A Planar Array of Micro-Fabricated Electrospray Emitters for Thruster Applications

This paper reports the design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of a planar array of micro-fabricated electrospray emitters intended for space propulsion applications in micro-satellites. The engine uses the ionic liquid EMI-BF 4 as propellant. Electrospray engines take advantage of th...
