Study of Vacuum Facility Effects on Pulsed Electric Propulsion System Testing

Abstract

the objective is to will investigate the interaction between supersonic non-equilibrium electric propulsion plasmas and the low-density background gas of vacuum test facilities using novel electron beam fluorescence system to characterize the plasma-neutral interaction. They will develop a novel electron beam fluorescence system to characterize the plasma-neutral interaction.
