Small Hall Effect Thruster with 3D Printed Discharge Channel: Design and Thrust Measurements
This paper presents the design and performance of the UAH-78AM, a low-power small Hall effect thruster. The goal of this work is to assess the feasibility of using low-cost 3D printing to create functioning Hall thrusters, and study how 3D printing can expand the design space. The thruster features...
