Details on an Annular Field Reversed Configuration Plasma Device for Spacecraft Propulsion IEPC - 2005 - 171
An annular field reversed configuration (AFRC) plasma thruster concept is being developed by AFRL and the University of Michigan. This concept is derived from the coaxial slow source FRC fusion reactor concept developed at the University of Washington and has been re-tooled for space propulsion applications. A scaling energy model, commercial magnetic field model, and a proof-of-concept experim...
متن کاملOperation of a Coaxial High Energy (CHENG) Thruster
The Coaxial High ENerGy (CHENG) Thruster is a high power coaxial pulsed plasma accelerator that was first proposed in 1970 by D.Y. Cheng. Reported exhaust velocities on the order of 10m/s, thrust densities on the order of 10N/m and low erosion rates make this thruster attractive for a variety of space missions. However, little work has been published since 1970 and the acceleration mechanism is...

متن کاملThe Emissive Membrane Ion Thruster Concept IEPC - 2005 - 164
Experiments conducted on solid-state ionic membranes that convert atoms into ions that can in turn be extracted into energetic beamlets and thereby produce thrust are described. The capability of ionizing and transporting ions is shown to be both rapid (over 10 mA/cm) and efficient (of order 1 eV/ion). Although similar in appearance to cesium contact sources, solid-state ionic membrane devices ...
