Weekday Session 9: Propulsion
Location
Utah State University, Logan, UT
Abstract
This paper described re-flight flight testing results of the miniature water propulsion system combined an ion thruster and resistojet thrusters which is to be demonstrated on-orbit by JAXA’s program named Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration-3. The unified propulsion system has a huge potential to expand micro/nano-spacecraft utilization and decrease the risk of debris.
