| Abstract | An improved stationary plasma thruster (SPT) was developed for operation at a power level of 100160 W. The thruster was tested with both conducting (graphite) and dielectric (borosil) discharge channels. Integral, or overall, characteristics were obtained with both channel materials using Ar and Xe as the working gas. Ionization procсesses take place with the same intensity with both channel materials. However, the discharge current at otherwise similar operating conditions is higher by about (20÷30)% with the conducting channel compared with the dielectric one. This phenomenon is explained in the paper. |
