The exhaust plasma plume characteristics strongly depend on thruster species. In this study, three kinds of plasma thruster were investigated in order to understand their plasma plume characteristics concerned with thruster performance and spacecraft interaction. Several plasma diagnostic measurements were carried out. The laboratory-model low-power Hall-effect thruster THT-4, the low-power radiation-cooled arcjet thruster RAT-7 and the quasisteady Magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) arcjet thruster MY-3 were operated, and their performances and plasma characteristics are discussed., 資料番号: AA0049206071, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-05-001E}, pages = {633--652}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {Plasma plume characteristics of electric thrusters}, volume = {JAXA-SP-05-001E}, year = {2005} }
