Cordeiro Guerrieri, D. (author), de Athayde Costa e Silva, M. (author), Cervone, A. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)A Low-Pressure Micro-Resistojet (LPM) is under development at TU Delft with the intention to provide future nano- and pico-satellites with the necessary capability to execute formation flying maneuvers, orbit change maneuvers, and station keeping. In this particular type of electro-thermal thruster, water is a green propellant of excellent...conference paper 2018

Cordeiro Guerrieri, D. (author), de Athayde Costa e Silva, M. (author), Zandbergen, B.T.C. (author), Cervone, A. (author)This paper presents a dynamic system approach for the modeling of fluid flow in microchannels to be used in thrust control applications. A micro-resistojet fabricated using MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) technology has been selected for the analysis. The device operates by vaporizing a liquid propellant, in this case water, and expelling...conference paper 2016
