Abstract

The main physical features and processes determining stationary plasma thrusters (SPTs) performance levels are considered in this paper, including ionization processes and ion dynamics in the accelerating channel, as well as the results of SPT design optimization, factors determining SPT lifetime, and the possibilities of simulating the plasma particle dynamics in the accelerating channel and in its plume.
