Plasma simulations for the assessment of pole erosion in the Magnetically Shielded Miniature Hall Thruster (MaSMi)
Numerical simulations have been conducted to assess the erosion rates at the pole covers of the magnetically shielded miniature (MaSMi) Hall thruster. MaSMi is part of the Ascendant Sub-kW Transcelestial Electric Propulsion System (ASTRAEUS), whose design requirements demand a xenon throughput of 100 kg, thus enabling deep space missions using SmallSats. The results of our simulations show that the proposed thickness of the graphite pole covers will not be completely eroded at end of life. We find that the erosion rates are larger near the corners of the covers, which are directly exposed to the plasma in the acceleration channel.
