PPT Slide

• Hall Plasma Thruster Project

• Nat Fisch, Yevgeny Raitses, Graduate students: Andrei Litvak, Leonid Dorf, Andy Berlingame + 3 Undergraduates (Physics and MAE)

• - Created reduced ìplumeî in state-of-the-art Hall Thruster

  - Operated of new cylindrical thruster scalable to micro-thrust regime

• Applications for satellite navigation, stationkeeping, satellite arrays

  Supported by LPDA, AFOSR and DARPA

  Aim to understand basic physics of Hall Thruster operation

  Key recent achievements using segmented electrode approach
