| Description | Tests were performed to characterize the particles and fields associated with two 30 cm mercury ion thrusters operating independently and simultaneously. Flux rates and energies of ions and their distribution around the thrusters were determined. Facility effect ions were measured and their effect on thruster created flux measurements was assessed. The flux rate and distribution of sputtered metal atoms was determined and compared with theory and previous measurements. Mapping of the potential fields in the near vicinity of the thrusters was accomplished. |
