CubeSats provide a cost effective means to perform scientific and technological studies in
space. Due to their affordability, CubeSat technologies have been diversely studied and …

Propulsion is required for satellite motion in outer space. The displacement of a satellite in
space, orbit transfer and its attitude control are the task of space propulsion, which is carried …

At present, no Cubesat has flown in space featuring propulsion. This was acceptable as long
as CubeSats were flown mostly as university experiments. As CubeSats become of interest …

The growing competitiveness in the commercial space market has raised the interest in
operating small spacecraft at very low altitudes. To make this feasible, the space industry …

This paper describes the development and testing of a cold gas attitude control thruster
produced for the BioSentinel spacecraft, a CubeSat that will operate beyond Earth orbit. The …

A cold gas thruster has been developed by the Texas Spacecraft Laboratory (TSL),
University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin), for an interplanetary CubeSat mission called …

IN THE past decades, technology for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has
expanded greatly, enabling orders-ofmagnitude reductions in the size of aerospace …
