    Recent micropropulsion developments have increased the operational capabilities of microsatellites (< 100 kg), to the point where they are being considered for demanding missions such as Active Debris Removal (ADR). This study examines the state-of-the-art micropropulsion options that can be applied to a microsatellite performing a range of orbital manoeuvres such as ADR. To this end a generic system architecture is used for this example scenario with ranging delta-v requirements. A variety of propulsion systems are sized accordingly, and the trade-offs between the differing propulsion technologies evaluated with respect to the power requirements, System-Specific Impulse , and technology readiness level (TRL), as well as a ‘newly defined’ volume driven System-Specific Impulse . It was shown that the high specific impulse (> 2000s) and consequent mass and volume savings of miniaturised Electric Propulsion (EP) systems, such as the miniature ion and colloid thrusters, results in optimal I<inf>SSP</inf>’s and I<inf>SSP</inf>’s for the ADR scenario examined. Moreover an in-depth combined quantitative and qualitative analysis identifies delta-v regions most suited to both EP and Chemical Propulsion (CP) systems, as well as highlighting the inherent differences in the varying technologies with respect to volume as well as mass.

    The increasing use of mixed gases, including helium mixtures, in glow discharge mass spectrometry has led to a need to understand the resulting signal enhancements due to changes in excitation and ionization processes. To understand more fully these processes in glow discharge, we have carried out complementary optical emission spectrometry experiments. The presence of added gases in the plasma gas can cause major changes in the number density of plasma gas ions and metastable atoms and so affects the intensities of spectral lines involving selective and non-selective excitation & ionization processes. We report the results of an experimental investigation on the effect of Ar/He mixed plasmas on the relative emission intensities of various analyte materials including copper, iron and titanium. Selective and non-selective excitation processes which are mainly dependent on the nature of the plasma gas and analyte material are observed and discussed.

    Magnetic-field measurements are essential tothe success of many scientific space missions. Outside ofthe earth’s magnetic field the biggest potential source ofmagnetic-field contamination of these measurements is emittedby the spacecraft. Spacecraft magnetic cleanliness is enforcedthrough the application of strict ground verificationrequirements for spacecraft equipment and instruments. Dueto increasingly strict AC magnetic-field requirements, manyspacecraft units cannot be verified on the ground using existingtechniques. These measurements must instead be takenclose to the equipment under test (EUT) and then extrapolated.A traditional dipole power law of −3 (with a fieldfall-off proportional to r−3) cannot be applied at these closedistances without risk of underestimating the field emitted bythe EUT, but we demonstrate that a power law of −2 is tooconservative. We propose a compromise that uses a powerlaw of −2 up to a distance equal to 3 times the unit size, beyondwhich a dipole power law can be applied. When extrapolatingfrom a distance of 0.20 m to 1.00 m from the centre ofa 0.20 m wide EUT, we demonstrate that this method avoidsan under prediction of the field, and is at least twice as accurateas performing the extrapolation with a fixed power lawof −2.
