Assume cubical spacecraft shape

Representative Microspacecraft

Attitude Control Requirements:

•

Cube Sats

are standardized

spacecraft buses 10 x 10 x 10 cm

in size and 1 kg in mass.

•

Multiple cube buses (up to 3) have

been built.

•

Power is user supplied, but typically

no more than a few Watts per cube

using no deployable arrays so far.

•

Substantial challenges exist in

placing propulsion systems on

cubesats

within the mass, size, and

power design cosntraints.

•

Some propulsion options have been developped for cubesats

and other microsats, but none have flown on cubesats to date.

•

An existing micro-thrust propulsion data set has been filtered

for propulsion systems that are or may be (with some

additional development) suitable to Cube Sats.
