Laboratory Demonstration of a Staging System for Electrospray Thrusters

Development of high-ΔV propulsion systems compatible with the CubeSat form factor is one of the last remaining technology gaps required to open up deep-space missions to CubeSats. Electrospray thrusters are a promising technology due to their inherently small form factor. However, the ΔV output o...
