High-Impulse, Modular, 3D-Printed CubeSat Electrospray Thrusters Throttleable via Pressure and Voltage Contro
This study reports the proof-of-concept demonstration of novel, additively manufactured, droplet-emitting electrospray emitter arrays for CubeSat thruster applications. The modular thruster design incorporates multiscale features by employing two different vat photopolymerization technologies, i.e., digital light processing for defining mesoscale features, and two-photon polymerization for creating microscale features. The thruster design includes optimized, 50 µm-diameter microfluidic […]
