Introduction Problem Solution Sensing Frame Testing Q&A Sources

 Microthrusters produce <1N of thrust (mN range)  Various propulsion systems (standard, mono, ion drive)

 Thruster and forces involved are minute  Testing must be done in a vacuum  Must be rugged and durable

 Sensing is done through direct thrust measurement  Thruster assembly is suspended via a single pole  Entire device is a vacuum chamber

 Exhaust plume exerts force on a plate Induced Force Thruster

 Uses electronic principle of capacitance  Needle point fulcrums eliminate frictional losses  Double pendulum plates eliminate mechanical noise

 Series of amplifiers and filters used to measure the change in signal

 Currently still in the conceptual phase  Strong contender is the suspension design, via a single pole from above  Material likely to be aluminum  Easy to work with compared to steel  Strength is more than adequate for the forces involved

 Currently no concrete plans are in place  Planning to use a set of small conventional chemical thrusters (Estes model rocket engines)
