Propellant Mass Scaling and Decoupling and Improved Plasma Coupling in a Pulsed Inductive Thruster
abstract: Two methods of improving the life and efficiency of the Pulsed Inductive Thruster (PIT) have been investigated. The first is a trade study of available switches to determine the best device to implement in the PIT design. The second is the design of a coil to improve coupling between th...
