HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Thanatith Nakul and colleagues from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan have published the research work: Characterization of a 2 MHz-radiofrequency-driven magnetically expanding plasma source, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
SUMMARY
Electric propulsion (EP) is one of the technologies to perform low-cost space transportation due to the high specific impulse, where electric power from solar panels is converted into the momentum of the propellant. When applying magnetic_fields to the source, the heating profile significantly affects the radial density and temperature profiles, since the heated electrons are tied . . .
