Improving the Performance of Electrodeless Plasma Thrusters for Space Propulsion
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6ABYE)
A Tohoku University researcher has increased the performance of a high-power electrodeless plasma thruster, moving us one step closer to deeper explorations into space. y, several space missions have successfully been completed using electric propulsion devices, such as gridded ion thrusters and Hall thrusters. Solar power is converted into thrust energy when the propellant becomes ...
