A micro-cathode arc propulsion system. By replacing an inductive circuit in a traditional micro-cathode arc propulsion system with a capacitor circuit, the stability of the operation of a micro-cathode arc thruster can be improved due to the stable discharging mode of the capacitor, and as the internal resistance of the capacitor is small during operation, the additional power consumption of the circuit is reduced, and the efficiency of the system is improved. In addition, as a pulse power supply is used to power in a pulse manner, the average power inputted into the micro-cathode arc thruster is greatly reduced.
