Abstract In line with the requirements (table 1.3) a micro-Newton thruster test facility has been developed. The facility consists of a vacuum tank, a highly precise thrust balance, a plasma diagnostics setup and all other necessary hardware to perform EP development, testing and characterisation. As introduced in chapter 1, section 1.4, the micro-Newton thruster test facility developed can be used for the complete characterisation of AOCS thruster candidates for future scientific space missions such as LISA.
