Sacha Huot, visiting Master student from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, presented his MSc thesis carried out in the context of ZARATHUSTRA. His thesis contributed to the experimental characterization of the plasma plume generated by our electron cyclotron resonance thruster (ECRT) operating in a magnetic arch configuration.
Congratulations to Sacha!
Our team had a very strong presence in this year's European Researchers Night, representing 25% of the entire University's activities! The four interactive activities were designed to share the principles of plasma physics and electric propulsion in an interesting and...
