Synopsis

Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites: Progress, Challenges and Future features 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.

  • Explains why nanosatellite requirements need unique micro-technologies to help develop a compliant propulsion system
  • Features an overview of nanosatellites and the global nanosatellite market
  • Covers chemical and electric micropropulsion and the latest developments

From the Back Cover

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 manoeuvrability in space. Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites features the latest developments and progress, the challenges faced by different researchers and an insight on future micropropulsion systems.
