Thrust Measurements on the High Efficient and Reliable Vacuum Arc Thruster (HERVAT)

In this work, thrust measurements of the high efficient and reliable vacuum arc thruster (HERVAT) are performed for different pulse energies. The thruster system includes a thruster head together with a newly developed pulse processing unit (PPU). The complete system (HERVAT + PPU) is able to perfor...
