Characteristics of a micro-multi-plasmajet-array thruster

Characterization of a micro multi-plasmajet-array thruster consisting of 6x6 micro-nozzle elements with electrically isolated needle cathodes was conducted. It was also shown that typical values of the average thrust, specific impulse and thrust efficiency were 39 mN, 107 sec and 0.33, respectively,...
