Space Propulsion Technology for Small Spacecraft [PDF]
Proceedings of the IEEE, 2018 As small satellites become more popular and capable, strategies to provide in-space propulsion increase in importance. Applications range from orbital changes and maintenance, attitude control and desaturation of reaction wheels to drag compensation and de-orbit at spacecraft end-of-life.
