Abstract
Estimation of a possibility to use an electromagnetic plasma railgun as a safe and reliable plasma thruster based on calculations of the thrust force and specific impulse of a plasma jet flowing from an accelerator channel is presented. Theoretical and experimental investigations of acceleration of a plasma armature in railguns filled with inert gases (argon, xenon) carried out at Ioffe Institute are described.
