| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Magneto-Plasma Sail is a propulsion system making use of the solar wind in the interplanetary space. This propulsion system creates an artificial magnetosphere as a sail catching the momentum of the solar wind. The artificial magnetosphere is created by a superconducting coil, and is inflated by an artificial plasma injection. In this study, a multi-scale plasma PIC simulation scheme including adaptive mesh refinement technique was developed for the estimation of the thrust performance and the plasma phenomena in a magneto-plasma sail. Furthermore, The robustness of an existing hybrid PIC code was improved, and numerical analysis under the various parameter was conducted by using the new hybrid PIC code.
