Maximum propellant utilization in an electron-bombardment thruster.

Abstract

Current theory and experimental data on propellant utilization in electron-bombardment ion thrusters are reviewed. Because the majority of investigations have been conducted with mercury, the presentation emphasizes that propellant. The results are presented in as general a form as possible to facilitate use in areas other than space propulsion.
