This paper describes the implementation of microthrusters using PCBMEMS technology. PCBMEMS is the engineering of MEMS devices based on standard printed circuit board (PCB) technology. The reduced thickness of the copper layers together with the high resolution of the features on a PCB allow the implementation of micrometer-sized devices. A solid fuel microthruster including a tank, detonator and throat has been designed, simulated, manufactured, and tested using this PCBMEMS technology
