Book excerpt: The High Performance Hall System (HPHS) program supports the development and flight qualification of a 4.5 kW electric propulsion system that includes the SPT-140 Hall thruster. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and International Space Technology, Inc (ISTI) are co-funding the HPHS program which is being conducted by a team led by Atlantic Research Corporation (ARC). The team includes ISTI, Experimental Design Bureau Fakel (Fakel), and Space Systems Loral (S/SL). The Research Institute of Applied Mechanics and Electrodynamics (RIAME) also provided support for this project. The SPT-140 is being designed, developed, manufactured, and tested by Fakel in Kaliningrad, Russia, where extensive performance testing and advanced development have been performed. In addition to the testing in Russia, a suite of experiments on the development model and the qualification model thrusters, sponsored by the U.S. Government, has occurred during 1999 and is scheduled to occur in 2000. These experiments include thruster performance, plume characterization, electromagnetic compatibility, and life characterization.

Book Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion

Download or read book Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion written by Dan M. Goebel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout most of the twentieth century, electric propulsion was considered the technology of the future. Now, the future has arrived. This important new book explains the fundamentals of electric propulsion for spacecraft and describes in detail the physics and characteristics of the two major electric thrusters in use today, ion and Hall thrusters. The authors provide an introduction to plasma physics in order to allow readers to understand the models and derivations used in determining electric thruster performance. They then go on to present detailed explanations of: Thruster principles Ion thruster plasma generators and accelerator grids Hollow cathodes Hall thrusters Ion and Hall thruster plumes Flight ion and Hall thrusters Based largely on research and development performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and complemented with scores of tables, figures, homework problems, and references, Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion: Ion and Hall Thrusters is an indispensable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are preparing to enter the aerospace industry. It also serves as an equally valuable resource for professional engineers already at work in the field.

Book SPT 140 High Performance Hall System HPHS Development

Book excerpt: The status of the Atlantic Research Corporation's Air Force Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) Performance Hall System (HPHS) contract to develop a 4.5 kW Hall effect thruster system is presented. The SPT-140 system heritage is described, and the members of the HPHS SPT-140 team are introduced. The objective of the Air Force contract are presented, and the SPT-140 system that has been designed to meet those objectives is described. To meet the IHPRPT goals, the magnetic system has been redesigned to improve thruster efficiency and life requirements. This and other accomplishments in the design and qualification of the SPT-140 system are presented along with the future milestones for the contract. The HPHs SPT-140 system will provide government and commercial customers an ideal propulsion system for a wide variety of LEO, GEO, and exploratory missions.

Book A Comprehensive Investigation of Facility Effects on the Testing of High Power Monolithic and Clustered Hall Thruster Systems

Download or read book A Comprehensive Investigation of Facility Effects on the Testing of High Power Monolithic and Clustered Hall Thruster Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focuses on understanding the relationship between facility background pressure and Hall effect thruster/cluster performance and plume characteristics. It is difficult for researchers to make adequate comparisons between data sets because of both differences in instrumentation and back pressures due to the wide range of facilities used in Hall thruster testing. Thus, tools are needed that allow researchers to obtain relevant plume and performance data for a variety of chambers and back pressures. This research is divided into three parts. The first is the development of a technique for calibrating a vacuum chamber in terms of pressure. The second is an investigation of facility effects; i.e., how elevated facility back pressure affects thruster performance, plume plasma parameters, and plume diagnostics. The third portion of this research is an investigation of the performance and plume characteristics of a cluster of UM/AFRL P5 5 kw Hall thrusters operated over a wide range of facility back pressures.
