On May 9-12, the EPIC Workshop 2023 took place at the “Città della Scienza” conference centre in Naples, Italy. ZARATHUSTRA’s PI, Mario Merino, had the opportunity to give a presentation about the project. In his talk he highlighted the advances in electrodeless plasma thruster modeling, and detailed the experiments and data-driven analysis of the project so far.
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...
