Microwave Plasma Propulsion Research Facility
Abstract
The objective of this proposed equipment is to demonstrate and measure the creation of a gaseous plasma in the diverging (supersonic) portion of a nozzle flow using high-power beamed microwave energy and to experimentally characterize the coupling of the microwave energy to the flow to convert the beamed power to thrust that separates the electrical power source from the vehicle. together to support fundamental research on beamed microwave propulsion systems.
