Time-dependent charge-coupled device camera cathode axial temperature measurements obtained from solid tungsten and thoriated-tungsten cathodes in a 30–60 A arc discharge with mass-flow rates varying from 450 to 640 standard cubic centimeters per m

Since the early 1960s to mid-1960s, laboratory studies have demonstrated the unique ability of magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thrusters to impart an exceptionally high level of specific impulse and thrust at large power processing densities. These intrin

High-power magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thrusters are an attractive option for providing primary propulsion on flagship-class spaceflight missions beyond the Low Earth Orbit (LEO), such as piloted Mars and Mars cargo, and more near-term cargo missions

This paper is focused on examining the potential th oriated tungsten cathodes have on reducing surface temperatures in magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster cathodes. Optical pyrometry and charge-coupled device (CCD) camera imaging have provided axial

A long-duration test of the Deep Space 1 (DS1) spare flight thruster (FT2) is presently being conducted. To date, the thruster has accumulated over 6700 hours of operation. Performance data-such as thrust, specific impulse and efficiency-over the ful

A total of 1462 hours of operaton were demonstrated in an endurance test of a 30 kWe-class ammonia arcjet operated at 10 kWe. The propellant flow rate was 0.170 g/s, and the measured performance increased from approximately 650 s specific impulse at

The throttling capabilities of a 30 kW class ammonia arcjet and its compatibility with a breadboard power conditioning unit (PCU) were tested in two series of tests. The first series was performed to determine the performance and operating characteri

Endurance tests (100 hours) were conducted to examine the effects of geometry and spacing on 30 kW arcjet cathode erosion. The effects of input power source ripple were also examined. The preliminary results from a 413 hour endurance test are also di
