Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites: Progress, Challenges and Future features the latest developments and progress, the challenges faced by different researchers, and insights on future micropropulsion systems. Nanosatellites, in particular cubesats, are an effective test bed for new technologies in outer space. However, most of the nanosatellites have no propulsion system, which subsequently limits their maneuverability in space.

Dr. Kean How Cheah is an Assistant Professor at School of Aerospace, University of Nottingham Ningbo China. He received the BEng degree in aerospace from Universiti Sains Malaysia, and the PhD degree in engineering from the University of Nottingham. Prior to joining the university, he held academic positions with Heriot-Watt University Malaysia and Taylor’s University and post-doctoral researcher position with Satellite Research Centre, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
