Discharge Characteristics and System Performance of the Ablative Pulsed Plasma Thruster with Different Structural Parameters

Discharge Characteristics and System Performance of the Ablative Pulsed Plasma Thruster with Different Structural Parameters

Under the given initial discharge energy level, altering the electrode structural parameters of the Ablative Pulse Plasma Thruster (APPT) is an effective way to improve the performance of the thruster. The purpose of this study is to reveal the underlying mechanism of the effect of changing the elec...
