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...
