5. Micropropulsion
5.1 Requirements
Miniaturization, lower costs and gains in the performance and reliability of mechanical and electronic components have led to the emergence of nano- (1 to 10 kg), micro- (10 to 100 kg) and minisatellites (100 to 500 kg) operating in low-earth orbits and capable of carrying out a variety of tasks and missions hitherto reserved for massive, heavy satellites
