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: Design, development, and characterization of a microwave electrodeless plasma thruster
Marco Inchingolo has successfully defended this PhD thesis "Design, development, and characterization of a microwave electrodeless plasma thruster". The last part of this thesis was supported under the framework of the ZARATHUSTRA project. We congratulate Marco for...
