Abstract
Micropropulsion is a key for the future of small spacecraft missions. There are a variety of thrusters including both chemical and electrical systems and each of them has its own advantages and shortcomings. Chemical thruster yields high impulse but low specific thrust. The thermal and pressure management in microscale are reviewed and several our own systems for micropropulsion are introduced.
