(abstract) Experimental Evaluation of Russian Anode Layer Thruster
This paper describes the results of a preliminary evaluation of a 1.35 kW anode layer thruster. Data on performance and plume characteristics will be presented. Data on thruster characteristics such as thrust, plume current densities, discharge voltage, discharge current, and mass flow rate along with the results of a 500-hour endurance test wear will be presented.
