Abstract:In this work the design and development of a power processing unit for a vacuum arc thruster is presented. The thruster is part of the Seamless Radio Access Networks for Internet of Space (SeRANIS) mission of the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, which will work as first multifunctional laboratory in orbit with public access. In addition to the basic functionality of generating a voltage peak for igniting the thruster, the power processing unit is equipped with techniques for controlling the ignition sequen… Show more
