Water-based plasma thrusters could power spacecraft for deep space missionsThe new approach called the Water-based Electric Thrusters (WET) aims to develop a method of converting water into plasma, a ...
This breakdown and build of a simple plasma thruster should help you on your way. All you really need is some Argon, a large capacitor bank, and a custom nozzle. You’ve already got most of that ...
Eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels are venturing beyond Earth—and into space.
A Hall thruster is a high-efficiency propulsion device using plasma that is used for various difficult space missions, such as SpaceX's constellation satellites, Starlink and NASA's asteroid probe, ...
A research team presents an AI assessor for Hall-effect ion thrusters, the engines of satellites and space probes.
MOSCOW, December 9. /TASS/. Russia has launched the trials of a plasma thruster for retaining the attitude of small space vehicles in orbit, the press office of Sitronics Group told TASS on Thursday.
Its mission is computational development of materials for space applications. The Ion Space Propulsion Lab (ISP Lab) involves next-generation plasma thrusters for spacecraft. The Multiplanetary ...
In the electric propulsion community, two computational methods have been previously developed to predict thruster performance and model plasma behavior. Fluid methods assume a distribution function ...
