Plasma propulsion devices, with their advantages of high efficiency, low propellant consumption, and lightweight systems, have become a core technology for precise orbit control and sustainable development of microsatellites. The Department of Aerospace Engineering at National Cheng Kung University, building upon vacuum cathodic arc thrusters (VCAT) and pulsed plasma thrusters (PPT) technologies, has successfully developed the Vacuum Arc Induced…
