N2 - A fully integrated micro-fabricated concept design of a colloid thruster is presented. A review of the possible mission applications for this thruster is provided, which concludes that the colloid thruster is versatile and shows good system advantages for missions as diverse as fundamental science missions, requiring high thrust stability, to low power consumption, high performance missions for small satellites.
