Apparatus for study of ion-thruster propellant ionization
Electric propulsion thrusters are considered to be candidates for microsatellites; ion engines are among the most scalable. Miniaturizing the ion engine will require novel concepts for the ionizer. MEMS, nanotechnology and other new technologies are expected to impact here. This thesis explores the...
