| Abstract | Future small and microspacecraft, potentially having wet masses as little as 1 kg, as well as high-precision interferometry missions will have needs for micro-Newton level thrusts and impulse bit capabilities of micro-Newton-seconds or less. In the case of applications to microspacecraft, small size and weight, as well as low power usage of thrusters and propulsion systems will also be of critical importance. Such spacecraft are currently being explored by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) and NASA in the US, with the involvement of several universities. |
