On November 21, 2023 the Royal Academy of Engineering (Real Academia de Ingeniería) issued the Young Researcher Medal to Mario Merino, PI of the ZARATHUSTRA Project.
The medal recognizes his outstanding contributions to the design, modeling, simulation, and testing of plasma space propulsion and, more specifically, electrodeless plasma thrusters. We congratulate Mario on his well-deserved achievement!
We are excited to share that we are organizing the 1st Electrodeless Plasma Workshop this July in Universidad Carlos III de Madrid: an international event that will bring together electric propulsion experts from Europe, America and Africa! The workshop will be an...
We give our warmest welcome to Juan, Sacha, and Elpidio to the ZARATHUSTRA project! Juan will be working until the end of the project on the development of kinetic plasma simulation codes, with the additional support of Community of Madrid (cofunded by Comunidad de...
We are happy to introduce our third paper for 2025 "Low-frequency oscillations in the magnetic nozzle of a Helicon Plasma Thruster", published on Plasma Sources Science and Technology. Abstract: Oscillations within the plume of a Helicon plasma thruster are...
