This paper describes the basic concepts of the Crossed Applied Magnetic Field 2D-MPD thruster. Especially, the way to construct optimized magnetic coil and the idea to avoid the operation limit due to the lack of charge career will be described. The thruster was newly designed and quasi-steady operation was successfully achieved using single PFN. Maximum 1.6 T magnetic field was applied to the discharge chamber and the plasma impedance up to 1 ohm was recognized. This device will realize light-weight, high power EP system which enables not only economical but also short time space transportation.
