Continued Development of High Performance Colloid Systems.
Abstract
A five-month program was conducted to compare the thrust stand performance characteristics of the annular slit and tubular high thrust density colloid emitters. A three-emitter module was constructed by both Electro-Optical Systems (annular) and TRW Systems Group (tubular) and acceptance tested by time-of-flight (TOF) measurement techniques. Each module was then evaluated under identical conditions by TRW using direct thrust measurement techniques. A11 program objectives were met with the exception of 100 continuous hours on the EOS module.
