ZESTT is an engineering team at the University of Michigan (UM) whose purpose is to design, build, and test a working prototype of the Nanoparticle Field Extraction Thruster (NanoFET). With a working NanoFET, we will be able to observe the effectiveness of micro-particle separation, electrostatic charge induction, and acceleration of these particles in near space environment. The results obtained would be beneficial to space propulsion, materials processing, and biomedical applications.
