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

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Cornelis Peter Hiemstra; [2022]
    Keywords : vacuum arc thruster; propulsion; thrust measurement;

    Abstract : 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.
