Abstract
This paper shows an application of single crystal metals and Single Shell Polymer Concentrator (SSPC) to Solar Thermal Propulsion (STP). Based on it, we fabricated a breadboard model of STP system (STP-BBM) for microsatellites. We also proposed Eco-Friendly End-of-Life De-Orbiting (EFELDO) by using such a high performance STP system.
