Demonstrate and characterize an electric propulsion system. |
| Description |
It is the first in the UWE series of pico-satellites to incorporate a propulsion system. Demonstrate and characterize an electric propulsion system. The basic bus also includes magneto-torquers for simple attitude control. On this platform an electric propulsion system is integrated. This system is based on vacuum arc thrusters and will allow both orbit and fine attitude control. |
