N2 - In the age of Internet of Things (IoT), enabled by Information and Communication Technology (ICT), small satellites area expected to play a major role as facilitator. The small satellites has further got a fillip on account of the advancement in the field of science and technology of field assisted electron emission which enables the propulsion of such small satellites. Especially the feasibility of nano carbon based, with high aspect ratio, self aligned structured, chemically stable, low power operating, miniaturization and improved life time, the Field Emission Electrical Propulsion (FEEP) has enhanced the interest in nano and pico satellites. Presented in this study is a brief overview of design, development and establishing of local capability for material and field emission device/array growth, characterization facility for emitters, design and development of arrays, to packaging and development of small satellites in an academic environment.
