INDUCTIVE PLASMA ACCELERATOR DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The work described in the report comprises: (a) Theoretical studies of the performance of an electromagnetic induction plasma accelerator for radiation-cooled applications, and for pulsed operation. (b) The improvement of pre-existing instrumentation for the measurement of developed thrust and input electric power. (c) The development of suitable materials and techniques for the construction of thrustors. (d) The experimental testing of thrustors for the purpose of measuring performance and life times.
