Abstract: Abstract:Solid propellant microthruster array (SPMTA) has the advantages of high accuracy, low impulse, high density and rapid assembling. It is quite suitable for micro/nanosatellite in special mission, micro/nanosatellite formation flight and rapid response satellite. In this paper, the structure principle, features and applications of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) SPMTA are introduced. The international development status of MEMS SPMTA is investigated. Based on the investigation, the key techniques of MEMS SPMTA and some future development suggestions are presented.
