This paper presents a MEMS-based micro propulsion system with closed-loop thrust control. It is a cold gas system with butane as propellant packaged in module with the size one third of a 1U CubeSat. The module is described in terms of design, manufacturing, and test results. The development of this product is on-going but recent achievements have demonstrated that besides miniaturization also unique performance and functionality can be achieved. By using MEMS components in a closed-loop control configuration, the combination of milli-Newton thrust range, sub micro-Newton resolutions, and fast response time can be achieved. In our view, using MEMS technology and integrating the flow control valve, mass flow sensor and chamber/nozzle on a si...
