Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites

Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites: Progress, Challenges and Future

The feature highlights the latest developments and progress, the challenges faced by different researchers, and insights on future micropropulsion systems.

Nanosatellites, in particular cubesats, are an effective test bed for new technologies in outer space. However, most of the nanosatellites have no propulsion system, which subsequently limits their maneuverability in space.
