Cervone, A. (author), Cordeiro Guerrieri, D. (author), de Athayde Costa e Silva, M. (author), Leverone, F.K. (author)Electrothermal propulsion can be seen as an intermediate concept between electrical and chemical propulsion. Propellant heating typically happens by means of a resistance (resistojet) or an electrical discharge (arcjet). For the extremely miniaturized applications that will be discussed in this chapter, resistojets are by far the most...book chapter 2022
