Abstract: A preliminary test of the solid-state pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) model with graphite as а solid propellant to correct and maintain a small satellite’s orbit was carried out. The structural, electrical and thrust characteristics of the solid-state PPT were experimentally investigated using the plasma emission spectrum, Rogowski coil, and ballistic pendulum. Furthermore, the formation dynamics of the pulsed plasma was investigated by using a high-speed CMOS Phantom VEO710S camera.
