The field emission thruster was tested in pulsed mode. The pulses are reproducible. Either the emitter voltage or the accelerating electrode voltage can be controlled to provide the pulses, and the minimum impulse bit can be as small as 10 (- 8) N.s. Model missions, where FEEP offers significant advantages, are proposed. They deal with fine attitude control and/or drag compensation. The mission analysis leads to the definition of simple and lightweight propulsion systems for each case. A flight experiment to verify these capabilities is proposed.
