Low-voltage operation mode of ASCENT-propelled pulsed plasma thruster
This study demonstrates the feasibility of operating a liquid-fed pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) at low voltages, in the magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) arc range below 100 V, in contrast to conventional PPTs operating in the kV range. The system uses ASCENT (Advanced Spacecraft Energetic Nontoxic Propella...
