16. A study on Hall Effect Thruster exhaust plume simulation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The results of the attempt to simulate a 1,5 kW-class Stationary PlasmaThruster (SPT) type Hall Effect thruster exhaust plumes are presented.This work focuses on the simulation of the near field region since acharged particle can directly affect the other systems of the spacecraft,such as solar panels, camera etc. READ MORE

17. Development and testing of algorithms for optimal thruster command distribution during MTG orbital manoeuvres
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : An accurate satellite attitude and orbit control is a key factor for a successful mission. It guarantees for example sun acquisition on solar panels, fine pointing for optimal telescope usage or satellite lifting to reach higher orbits, when required. READ MORE

18. Experimental Verification of BP-HiPIMS Thrusters
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The ion acceleration process in Bipolar High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputteringis investigated for use in a novel space propulsion system - the BP-HiPIMS thruster.The interest for BP-HiPIMS has recently been growing within the area of thin filmdeposition due to the theorised acceleration of target ions caused by the reversedpulse following the regular HiPIMS pulse.

19. The I2T5 : Enhancement of the Thermal Design of an Iodine Cold Gas Thruster
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : The I2T5, an iodine-propelled, cold gas thruster, developed by ThrustMe, France, is the first of its kind to make it successfully to space. Due to its simple, reliable and cost-effective design, it is a suitable propulsion system for CubeSat missions with low delta-V (ΔV) requirements. READ MORE

20. A Xenon Collisional Radiative Model for Electric Propulsion Application : Determining the electron temperature in a Halleffect Thruster
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Hall effect thrusters (HET) that rely on xenon as a propellant are widely adoptedtoday for their efficiency. To understand the kinetics of the xenon plasma dischargein the thruster, we developed a collisional radiative model for xenoninspired by the work of Karabadzhak et al. [1]. READ MORE
