Using reconfigurable and adaptable networks of micro/nanosatellites to support cost-effective space missions is a popular new direction in the space community. Since the overall resources of micro/nanosatellites are more restricted than those of a single iarge satellite, the micropropulsion system needs to be lightweight, low-cost, and practical. This paper describes the collaboration between the Arizona State University Student Satellite Lab and the Air Force Research Laboratory Propulsion Directorate to flight test a micropropulsion system on a nanosatellite. ASUSat2. The motivation behind this conjuncture is to employ university satellites as an inexpensive testbed for unconventional new technologies. This paper first provides background...
