The wall-less Hall thruster is expected to overcome the issue of wall erosion in miniaturized
Hall thrusters. A unique structure of negative gradient magnetic field is used to constrain the …

Interplanetary CubeSats enable universities and small-spacecraft consortia to pursue low-
cost, high-risk and high-gain Solar System exploration missions, especially Mars missions …

This thesis investigates the application of order-4 maximum-entropy moment methods to the
simulation of low-temperature plasmas. Such methods extend the validity of the classical …

With the rise of CubeSats and the demonstration of their many space applications, there is
interest in interplanetary CubeSats to act for example as scientific investigations or …

Following the trend of miniaturization and standardization of satellite design, as well as
recent successes in the use of cubesats in interplanetary missions, a cubesat design …
