Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-96).
Very little data on Hall and Pulsed Plasma Thrusters has been taken in the hard vacuum of space. The Environment Effects Verifatication experiment is designed to take archival-quality data in space in the plume and far-field regions of these thrusters. Student involvement is a key element of the experiment, which is supported by the Massachusetts Space Grant and the Education branch of NASA. Design of the experiment is currently in the preliminary phase. A new facility at MIT, called the Micro Propulsion Lab, is available for testing related to this experiment, and some initial ground tests of a lab model Hall thruster have been completed.
