A dual Stage ion engine for high impulse missions
In this paper, the applicability of dual stage ion optics and in particular of the so-called dual stage ion engine to high power, high specific impulse missions will be evaluated. First, the performance limits of conventional two gridded ion engines (GIE) will be discussed and the advantages provide...
