A study of an air-breathing electrodeless plasma thruster discharge

Plasma chemistry of main Earth atmospheric components in VLEOs is implemented in a hybrid 2D axisymmetric simulation code to assess the air-breathing concept in an electrodeless plasma thruster. Relevant electron-heavy species collisions for diatomic molecules, and atom associative wall recombinatio...
