The key technology issue is that the rotating speed is set above the ion plasma frequency but far below the electron plasma frequency, in order to produce the electron drag current and axial electric field as a consequence of the interaction with the bias field. The formation of axial electric field was confirmed and the produced plasma density was > 6 x 10(exp 18) m(exp -3), whereas the power consumption is 500 W in the inductively coupled mode of operation. The anticipated thrust density and specific thrust could potentially be extended to 7.64 Nm(exp -2) and 850 s, respectively, which is comparable to conventional Hall effect thrusters., 形態: カラー図版あり, 資料番号: AA0064292121}, pages = {1--6}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究本部, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {Development of modulated magnetic field plasma propulsion system for nanoscale space vehicles}, volume = {平成20年度}, year = {2009} }
