Development and Implementation of Diagnostics for Unsteady Small-scale Plasma Plumes

This research seeks to increase the applicable range and sensitivity of Triple Langmuir Probes (TLPs) and Retarding Potential Analyzers (RPAs) in the characterization of sub-centimeter scale, unsteady plasmas found in micropropulsion and other non-propulsive applications. The validation of these pl...
