Radio-frequency (RF) ion thrusters are characterized in vacuum test facilities differentiated by pumping speed and thus subject to varying levels of neutral propellant ingestion that affect plasma plume properties and artificially raise the pressure

The Hall thruster is a high-efficiency spacecraft propulsion device that utilizes plasma to generate thrust. The most common variant of the Hall thruster is the stationary plasma thruster (SPT). Erosion of the SPT discharge chamber wall by plasma spu

The operational characteristics of Hall effect thrusters are altered by conductive surfaces in vacuum facilities. Conductive surfaces alter charge distribution in the plume by providing pathways for electron-ion recombination that do not exist in the

This paper presents a physics-based 0-D steady-state model of a radiofrequency ion thruster (RIT) that is valid for any propellant blend, and hence, any plasma mixture, and the model is used to predict the drag compensation capability and plasma comp
