Modelling and design of inductively coupled radio frequency gridded ion thrusters with an application to Ion Beam Shepherd type space missions
Recently proposed space missions such as Darwin, LISA and NGGM have encouraged the development of electric propulsion thrusters capable of operating in the micro-Newton (N) thrust range. To meet these requirements, radio frequency (RF) gridded ion thrusters need to be scaled down to a few centimetre...
