Development and Laboratory Testing of a CubeSat-Compatible Staged Ionic-Liquid Electrospray Propulsion System

Advances in propulsion systems are key to enabling independent deep-space CubeSat missions. Currently available electric propulsion technologies require relatively high power and thereby heavy power generation systems, severely limiting their utility for missions going away from the Sun. The ionic-l...
