About

The AIS-ILIS1 is a PocketQube-class ionic liquid electrospray thruster using EMI-Im propellant, providing an estimated 25uN of thrust in a 42x42x35mm form factor. As the next step up from the ILIS0, the ILIS1 offers significantly higher thrust capability while remaining compatible with PocketQube satellite form factors. Power requirements, total impulse, ISP, and orbital movement data are TBD pending development. Status: IN DEVELOPMENT.
