Modeling and Parametric Performance Analysis of Field Emission Electric Propulsion : Grin Verlag : 9783346838582 : 3346838587 : 06 Mar 2023 : Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: 3,4, language: English, abstract: Space electric propulsion is required not only for orbit raising and transfer, position control, and station keeping, but also for spacecraft attitude control, advanced thermal material testing, and end-of-life de-orbiting that is much more fuel efficient than conventional chemical rockets. FEEP thruster is one type of ion propulsion system that provides a low thrust of the order of micro-Newton (µN) to milli-Newton (mN) that is primarily used for precise spacecraft attitude control with extremely high efficiency and small impulse bits based on the exhaust velocity of an ejected ion from a thruster. This thesis report includes a mathematical and 3D CAD model of a FEEP thruster with the overarching goal of investigating an
