Electrospray Thrusters in Chemical-Electric Multimode Propulsion for Small Satellites
Propulsion for small spacecraft is typically one of two modes, chemical or electric. These modes offer complementary propulsive performance: chemical propulsion provides high thrust and low specific impulse, while electric propulsion provides the inverse. As such, having access to both modes on the …

Optimal control techniques for multimode propulsion mission design in cislunar space
Multimode spacecraft propulsion is an emerging, enabling, and enhancing technology that combines two or more propulsive modes (e.g., chemical and electric) into one system using a single propellant. The primary benefit of this technology is that it can provide reduced propellant consumption for a …

Characterization of a green electric solid propellant for electric propulsion
… for use in ablative pulsed plasma thruster and multimode systems. In this work, the behavior and performance of a novel green electric solid propellant operating in an electrothermal ablation-fed pulsed plasma thruster was investigated. Using an inverted pendulum micro-Newton thrust stand, the …
