Advanced Optical and Electrostatic Characterization of Closed-Electron Drift Thrusters

Abstract

The research funded under this grant has been extremely successful, providing partial support for two graduate students (Mr.D. Schmidt, and Mr. Q. Walker). Over the course of the three years, these two students funded under this augmentation grant have published a total of three archival papers, and ten conference papers (see Publication Section). Here we provide a brief description of the research and results obtained to date, and direct the reader to the extensive publication list, where the findings are described in considerable detail. In some cases, papers are provided as attachments in the Appendix.
