Additively  Manufactured High-Impulse Cooled Chemical Thruster for CubeSats and Microsats — With  advances in miniaturization of electronics, new materials and new manufacturing  methods, significant space missions that were once the exclusive domain of  large spacecraft can now be performed using spacecraft that are one-tenth the  size. One factor still limits the types of missions that these new small and  nimbler spacecraft can perform: the lack of significant propulsion that is safe,  affordable and easy to integrate. Continuum Aerospace, with partners Canadore  College and the University of Waterloo, are leveraging expertise in new rocket  propulsion technologies, direct metal laser sintering 3D printing, and enhanced  computational modelling to develop a new thruster system using non-toxic,  easy-to-handle propellants which is small enough to fit these smaller  spacecraft designs. This thruster system will be the first of its kind in  Canada, and will provide Canadian spacecraft designers and mission planners  with the ability to undertake new types of missions at a low
