The book details the design and evaluation of a micro-Newton thrust balance and the miniaturization of a High Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thruster for use in the LISA space gravitational wave detector. It emphasizes the ability to conduct thrust noise measurements in the sub-micro-Newton range across the LISA bandwidth. Additionally, the downscaled thruster operates effectively at several tens of micro-Newton while maintaining a high specific impulse, showcasing advancements in precision propulsion technologies for space applications.
