ZARATHUSTRA’s PI, Mario Merino, will present the first results of the project at the upcoming International Electric Propulsion Conference (IEPC), which will take place in Boston (USA) on June 19-23, 2022. The paper ‘Preliminary model of the plasma expansion in a magnetic arch thruster‘ includes the first simulations of the plasma expansion outside the magnetic arch thruster, as well as an overview of the first prototype being developed in the laboratory. The event will be a good opportunity to discover the progress we have made so far in our project. Here you can find the schedules of this event. See you in Boston!
PhD Thesis: Investigation of oscillations in space plasma thrusters via data-driven analysis techniques
Davide Maddaloni, member of the ZARATHUSTRA team, successfully defended his thesis “Investigation of oscillations in space plasma thrusters via data-driven analysis techniques”. We congratulate Davide for his achievement, and wish him the best in his future steps!
