Modeling and Characterization of a Thermally Controlled Iodine Feeding System for Electric Propulsion Applications

Iodine is considered as a feasible alternative to xenon as a propellant for electric propulsion systems, thanks to its good propulsive performance, high availability, and high storage density. However, as iodine is stored in solid state at ambient temperature, current state-of-the-art propellant man...
