    Keywords : space electric propulsion; in-space advanced propulsion technology; Hall effect thruster; hollow cathode; wall-less Hall thruster; external discharge plasma thruster; single Langmuir probe; double Langmuir probe; emissive probe; retarding potential analyzer; plume plasma diagnostics; low-voltage Hall thruster; high-current hollow cathode; plasma parameters; propulsion electrique pour l espace; cathode creuse à fort courant; propulseur à décharge externe de plasma; propulseur à effet Hall à basse tension; techniques de diagnostic du plasma; sonde de Langmuir simple; sonde de Langmuir double; sonde émissive; analyseur à potentiel retardé;

    Abstract : The present thesis is the result of a research period at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, ISAS/JAXA within Funaki Laboratory of the Department of Space Flight Systems that followed the path of plume plasma diagnostics for space electric propulsion drives. During the experimental studies two high-current hollow cathodes and an innovative prototype of a low-voltage fully external discharge plasma thruster (XPT) had their plasma plumes diagnosed using electrostatic probes and retarding potential analyser (RPA).
