Considerations for a multi-modal electrospray propulsion system
… which have continued to elude traditional thruster concepts. The ion Electrospray Propulsion System (iEPS) is a microelectromechanical (MEMS) based electrostatic thruster for space propulsion applications. This technology makes use of ionic liquid ion sources (ILIS) and a porous emitter …

Colloid Thruster to Teach Advance Electric Propulsion Techniques to Post-secondary Students
<p>Colloid thrusters, and electrospray thrusters as a whole, have been around since the 1960s. When they were first developed, the high efficiency and fine thrust control was overshadowed by the high power requirement for such a low thrust that the system provides. This caused the technology to be …
