RESEARCH ON CHARGED PARTICLE ELECTROSTATIC THRUSTORS

Abstract

This research program is intended to extend the state of the art in heavy particle electrostatic propulsion. The work performed in the first half of the program is described particularly as it relates to the average charge/mass ratios obtained, charged particle beam currents, beam neutralization and post acceleration with 100 KV.
