Feasibility of a Deep-Space CubeSat Mission with a Stage-Based Electrospray Propulsion System

Independent deep-space CubeSat missions require efficient propulsion systems capable of delivering several km/s of ΔV. The ion Electrospray Propulsion System under development at MIT's Space Propulsion Laboratory is a high ΔV propulsion system that is a promising technology for propulsion of in...
