Calculation of the performance curves for ion thrusters

  • 1. Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Sao Jose dos Campos, SP (Brazil). Lab. Associado de Plasma

Description

The performance curves for two different ion thrusters have been obtained using the mean containment time estimated by a tri-dimensional code, and an analytical model that takes into account the discharge power balance and charged particle balance. (author). 6 refs, 2 figs, 3 tabs
