Abstract
The article presents the results of experimental studies of the resonator ion thruster by the timeof-flight method in order to determine the accelerating structural elements. Four assembly variants were investigated: the outflow of ions from a magnetic cell; the outflow of ions from a magnetic cell with an installed core; the outflow of ions from a magnetic cell with an installed core and the side wall of the resonator; the outflow of ions from a magnetic cell with an installed core and the side wall of the resonator with a mesh cover. The energy consumption of the magnetic cell was 5.6 W, and the ion beam velocity at 11 Pa was no more than 7 m/s. In the assembly according to the second variant, the power consumption was 6.6 W at a pressure of 11 Pa and a speed of no more than 30 m/s. The power consumption for the third and fourth assembly variants was 6 watts, and the ion beam velocity at 11 Pa was no more than 48 m/s.
