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!
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...
