Innovative Liquid Micro Pulsed Plasma Thruster system for nanosatellites (L-µPPT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"The rapid emergence of new application domains and mission types has had a large impact on the evolution of spacecraft design. The current interest for micro-spacecrafts essentially proceeds from the wider availability of enabling technologies (micro/nano-fabrication), and from the desire to reduce development and launcher costs. Nanosatellites are also potentially useful as a mean to increase a ...
