Development and tests of a thrust stand with an in-situ null position adjustment and calibration method for low power plasma thrusters
A growing number of space missions use electric propulsion systems due to their higher specific impulse and greater efficiency compared to chemical propulsion systems. Because they are able to generate relatively low thrust values, conventional thrust measurement mechanisms used for chemical propuls...
