ELECTROSTATIC ION THRUSTERS - TOWARDS PREDICTIVE MODELING

For satellite missions, thrusters have to be qualified in large vacuum vessels to simulate space environment. One caveat of these experiments is the possible  modification of the beam properties due to the interaction of the energetic ions with the  vessel walls. Impinging ions can produce sputtered...
