Pulsed plasma thrusters are ideal for applications in small spacecraft for attitude control, precision spacecraft control, and low-thrust maneuvers. Reference: Pulsed Plasma Thrusters. NASA Glenn Research Center, 23 November 2004, https://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/about/fs23grc.html.
Pulsed plasma thrusters (PPTs) are considered promising electric propulsion systems for small spacecraft due to their simple design and ability to operate with solid propellant.
Due to their simplicity, reliability, scalability and low weight, Pulsed Plasma Thrusters (PPT) are currently considered one of the most suitable electric propulsion option for small delta-V missions on nano/picosatellites.
