“…VAPORIZING LIQUID MICROTHRUSTER (VLM): They have been in development since the 1960s [152][153][154][155], and the design comprises an inlet channel for propellant feed, a chamber where a heating element vaporizes the propellant, and a convergent-divergent nozzle to propel the gases to supersonic speeds, as observed in Figure 24a). Several designs demonstrate significant potential, achieving a specific impulse (I sp ) exceeding 100 s [156-158]; 2.…”

This work presents a state-of-the-art review of micro-combustion flame dynamics and micro propulsion systems. In the initial section, we focus in on the different challenges of micro-combustion, investigating the typical length and time scales involved in micro-combustion and some critical phenomena such as flammability limits and the quenching diameter.We present an extensive collection of studies on the principal types of micro-flame dynamics, including flashback, blow-off, steady versus non-steady flames, mild combustion, stable flames, flames with repetitive extinction, and ignition and pulsatory flame burst. In the final part of this review, we focus on micropropulsion systems, their performance metrics, conventional manufacturing methods, and the advancements in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems manufacturing.

“…Electrothermal thrusters, such as arcjets and resistojets, use electric heating to impart energy to the propellant and accelerate through a nozzle to produce thrust [118,119]. In the arcjet, an arc originating from the cathode attaches to the anode nozzle to heat the propellant, which can then be accelerated through the nozzle to produce thrust.…”

Faraday probes are a common plasma diagnostic used to determine the local ion charge flux of electric propulsion plumes. Standard practices, guidelines, and recommendations are provided for experimental methods and analysis techniques that aim to standardize community practices, to mitigate test environment effects, and to reduce systematic measurement error in order to improve plume predictions in the space environment. The approaches are applicable to time-averaged plasma properties in the near-field and far-field of electric propulsion plumes, with emphasis on Hall effect thrusters and gridded ion thrusters. Considerations for other electric propulsion technologies are provided, including electrosprays, arcjets, and electromagnetic thruster concepts. These test strategies are expected to increase the quality of comparisons between different thrusters and vacuum environments, thereby broadening the applicability of ground-based measurements and enhancing the fidelity for on-orbit predictions and modeling validation.
