Enabling low-cost challenging missions with small spacecraft by using high-energy pulsed plasma thrusters : preliminary propulsion system design

Small spacecraft are inherently cheaper to build and launch, even if they may pose formidable design challenges, especially for high Delta-v orbit transfers, lunar and interplanetary missions. The development of a propulsion system that is, at the same time, simple, robust and scalable, is of paramo...
