In situ erosion measurement tools for electric propulsion thrusters: triangular laser head and telemicroscope

Abstract The lifetime of electric propulsion (EP) thrusters depends particularly on the erosion characteristics of operation relevant components, for instance, the grid hole erosion of gridded ion thrusters or the channel wall erosion of Hall effect thrusters. Here two tools for in situ erosion meas...
