   Sammanfattning : Measuring the thrust of cold gas micro-thrusters, due to the small magnitude of the generated force, is a challenging task, and to obtain satisfying quality of results usually careful adjustments of the setup has to be performed. The work presented in this paper aims at improving the quality of such measurements at the GomSpace Sweden company. LÄS MER

3. 2. Design, production, and validation of a vacuum arc thruster for in-orbit proximity operations

   Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Författare :Cornelis Peter Hiemstra; [2022]
   Nyckelord :vacuum arc thruster; propulsion; thrust measurement;

   Sammanfattning : Vacuum arc thrusters offer a relatively simple and cheap form of satellite propulsion, especially suitable for nanosatellites such as CubeSats or even smaller. This thesis focuses on vacuum arc thruster design considering the thruster’s manufacturing, assembly and integration into the spacecraft, and proposes a new anode geometry easing thruster production.
