The project focuses on enhancing the efficiency of a new type of electric propulsion system for spacecraft, specifically a magnetic nozzle thruster. By investigating plasma production and acceleration mechanisms, it aims to develop a prototype that operates effectively across various conditions.
In the context of reduction of the spacecraft size, low power electric propulsion devices have replaced the chemical propulsion traditionally used.
Among the different technologies, one particular type produces and ejects a plasma in a diverging magnetic field, called magnetic nozzle.
Such devices are said electrodeless because they do not need a cathode to neutralise the plasma beam.
The absence of this element simplifies considerably their architecture and reduces significantly their risk of f…
