Abstrakt: Scaling down electric propulsion systems is of interest for the future development of propulsion systems for micro- and nano-satellites. Because of the low mass of nano-satellites, only a small amount of thrust, on the order of several hundred µN, is needed for tasks such as attitude control. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
