Lecture: Film-Evaporation Microthruster for Cubesats

Reaction Control systems for attitute control of small sattelites are discussed. The use of microthrusters reduce the quatintity of propulsive matter significantly from the payload. The basic principles are introduced and the latest developments are reviewed.


A review of the state of the art in microthruster technology
