An electrospray motor was manufactured using 3D printing to produce propulsion systems for satellites directly in space.

Engineers at MIT have created a fully 3D-printed engine that could change the way small satellites move in space. This new ...

据IT之家了解，电喷发动机通过将电场施加于导电液体，产生高速微滴喷流，从而为航天器提供推力。与传统的化学火箭相比，电喷发动机在轨道精确操控方面更具优势，因为其推进剂利用效率更高。然而，传统电喷发动机的制造依赖于昂贵且耗时的半导体洁净室工艺，这限制了其广泛应用。

An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid – generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal for small ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

Electrospray engines produce thrust by shooting out a stream of highly charged droplets. The MIT researchers used a precise fabrication method that enhances the electrohydrodynamic reaction that ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...

Shoe box-sized CubeSats are becoming increasingly important in space exploration and collecting scientific data.

Design engineers must strategically reduce EMI and RFI at every opportunity, especially since some sources are naturally ...
