   Abstract : Recent advances in plasma-based propulsion systems have led to the development of electromagnetic Radio-Frequency (RF) plasma generation and acceleration systems, called Helicon Plasma Thrusters (HPT). One of the pioneer companies developing this new type of space propulsion is T4i Technology for Propulsion and Innovation s.p.a. READ MORE

3. 2. Theoretical studies of plasma detachment in the VASIMR magnetic nozzle

   University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

   Author : Aleksander Slavic; [2012]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this thesis, theoretical studies are conducted to see whether plasma will detach from the magnetic field lines of the VASIMR thruster, and if so, at which location detachment takes place. A magnetic field similar to the field of the VASIMR VF-24 engine [1] is used and ions of different speed and massare sent from various radial positions in the exhaust. READ MORE
