Replacing hollow and filament cathodes with field emitter (FE) cathodes could significantly improve the scalability, power, and performance of some meso- and microscale Electric Propulsion (EP) systems. This article discusses the motivation and challenges of integrating of FE and Electric Propulsion systems.
