High-Speed, Single-Shot Spectroscopy for Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion

Abstract

Proposed equipment will support a YIP grant on air-breathing plasma scheme if it is to operate at the higher range of VLEO altitudes; (iii) an experimental effort to understand the effect of air plasma constituents on cathode integrity; and (iv) studies of the stability of the Z-pinch plasma in complex air plasma flows with high repetition rate drive pulses.
