On October 3, the 75th Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference was held in Sendai, Japan. Our PI, Mario Merino, was one of the invited speakers with the presentation “Electrodeless plasma thrusters and magnetized plasma expansions for space propulsion“, where he had the opportunity to talk about the progress of the ZARATHUSTRA project.
Four of our team's contributions to the recent International Electric Propulsion Conference (IEPC2024) were awarded with a Best Paper distinction in their respective sessions. It is the recognition of hard work, with half of our submissions beeing awarded. The papers...
We are pleased to announce the publication of our new article "Data-driven sparse modeling of oscillations in plasma space propulsion" in the context of ZARATHUSTRA, published with Open Access. In this work, we present a novel algorithm to obtain data-driven models of...
Enrique Bello, member of the ZARATHUSTRA team, successfully defended his thesis "Analysis of turbulent transport in Hall-effect plasma thrusters". Apart from his thesis, his work resulted in 2 publications, one published and one submitted as a pre-print. We...
