Experimental Investigation into the Enhanced Diamagnetic Perturbations and Electric Currents Downstream of the High Power Helicon Plasma Thruster
Roberson, Brandon Race (2013-11-14)The high power helicon (HPH) is a compact plasma source that can generate downstream densities of 10<super>17</super>-10<super>18</super> m<super>-3</super> and directed ion energies of 50-70 eV, without the need for grids ... -
Innovations in pulsed plasma thrusters to enable CubeSat science missions
Northway, PaigeCubeSats and other small satellites in the 3-25 kg range are increasingly able to conduct meaningful science through advances in technology and miniaturization. However, much of the proposed science requires satellite ...
