dc.description AE 8900 MS Special Problems Report
dc.description.abstract The Spectre Propulsion System is an effort to develop a bimodal propulsion system for CubeSats. Spectre aims to use green propellant to both drive a small chemical monopropellant thruster as well as an electrospray system. The project is a collaboration between NASA MSFC, Georgia Tech, and MIT. The propulsion unit hardware and controller are being developed within the GLRG at the SSDL at Georgia Tech, the systems engineering effort is being led by NASA MSFC, and the electrospray system development is being led by MIT SPL As a part of that effort, a low-cost system controller is being developed using commercial-of-the-shelf parts to drive costs down and still be able to withstand the harsh environments of space missions. This paper shows the development and test process of Spectre Propulsion System controller. From the high-level system architecture to the testing of specific hardware, the total controller system development effort will be outlined.
