This was a very simple micro phase-change resistojet thruster that I designed and fabricated to primarily evaluate my thruster vacuum test setup with different area ratio thruster nozzles. The thruster heated the propellent using a low voltage glow plug and was fueled with small quantities of water. I tested the thruster for several hours under different propellent flowrates and chamber vacuum levels.
