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.
Bonjour! My name is Hugo Bergerioux, and I just joined the ZARATHUSTRA team as a PhD student. I studied Applied Physics in EPFL, specializing in Plasma Physics. During my studies, I developed a keen interest in space technologies. Combining my background in physics...
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!
Our member, Pedro Jiménez, had the opportunity to present his latest work during the 31st Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Network in Europe (SPINE) workshop organized in Toulouse, France. His presentation "Energy-conserving, Implicit PIC Algorithms for electric...
