Members of the lab traveled to San Diego this week to attend the AIAA Science and Technology (SciTech) Forum and present portions of the labs research. The presented research covered characterization of electrospray thruster performance for potential bimodal propulsion systems, updates to the development of a staged electrospray propulsion system, and characterization of the transient behavior of ionic-liquid electrospray thrusters. The image above shows some of the struggles of participating in a hybrid conference. The individual papers can be found below:

• Characterization of Electrospray Thrusters with HAN-Based Monopropellants for Multimode Propulsion Applications
• Development and Laboratory Testing of a CubeSat-Compatible Staged Ionic-Liquid Electrospray Propulsion System
• Ionic Liquid Electrospray Transient Emission Characterization
