Distributed compact plasma reactor decontamination for planetary protection in space missions
Abstract This paper presents a proof-of-concept study establishing effectiveness of the Active Plasma Sterilizer (APS) for decontamination in planetary protection. The APS uses Compact Portable Plasma Reactors (CPPRs) to produce surface dielectric barrier discharge, a type of cold plasma, using ambi...
