A novel numerical analysis of Hall Effect Thruster and its application in simultaneous design of thruster and optimal low-thrust trajectory

Hall Effect Thrusters (HETs) are a form of electric propulsion device which uses external electrical energy to produce thrust. When compared to various other electric propulsion devices, HETs are excellent candidates for future orbit transfer and interplanetary missions due to their relatively simpl...
