Experimental and theoretical characterization of a Hall thruster plume
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Despite the considerable flight heritage of the Hall thruster, the interaction of its plume with the spacecraft remains an important integration issue. Because in-flight data fully characterizing the plume in the space ...
Instrument development and plasma measurements on a 200-watt Hall thruster plume
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Plume diagnostic instruments were developed and the BHT-200 Hall thruster plume was characterized in order to support ongoing computational plume models. The instruments included a Faraday probe to measure current density, ...
