Propellant Agnostic High Power EP

Abstract

Next-Gen EP Thrusters: Expands operational envelop of USSSF fleet: Next-generation are expected to operate at higher density and temperature (increased power and efficiency); Investment into these technologies can build resilience against future technology surprises by adversaries; Predictive forward modeling capability can shed valuable a-priori insights into performance of these devices before an extensive (and expensive) experimental campaign and help guide designers.
