Magnetic nozzle radiofrequency plasma thruster approaching twenty percent thruster efficiency
Abstract Development of a magnetic nozzle radiofrequency (rf) plasma thruster has been one of challenging topics in space electric propulsion technologies. The thruster typically consists of an rf plasma source and a magnetic nozzle, where the plasma produced inside the source is transported along t...
