Four Thruster Microfluidic Electrospray Propulsion (MEP) Cubesat Board Demonstration Project

Description

<p>The Cubesat Microfluidic Electrospray Propulsion (MEP) system module prototype will be designed, built and tested to demonstrate that a four MEP thruster system can be integrated into a single module on a cubesat electronic board. The MEP thruster is shown in Figure 1. It is an electrospray thruster with microfabricated components, a highly integrated capillary force driven feed system and indium propellant that is stored as a solid metal in the thruster head. It has no valves or pressurized reservoirs. Four of these thrusters will plug into one side of the cubesat board with the Power processing Unit (PPU) on the opposite side. The PPU will consist of COTS components. It will be designed to operate four 100 micronewton MEP thrusters. Existing lower thrust prototype MEP thrusters will be demonstrated in the module. The performance of the system will be characterized and control of the module will be demonstrated in a vacuum environment.</p>
