What is it about?
Electrospray thrusters represent a promising technology for micropropulsion of small satellites. They produce thrust by ejecting charged molecules at high velocities using strong electric field. In this work, we use Molecular Dynamics simulations to investigtate particle colisions that occur within the plume and predict the resulting byproducts.
