The IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) took place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on May 21-25. Pedro Jimenez gave two presentations on the results of the ZARATHUSTRA project, highlighting the progress made on experiments and simulations of magnetic nozzles and the magnetic arch plasma expansion. The conference was also a great opportunity to exchange ideas and interact with experts in plasma science.
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...
