Outline of Final Research Achievements

For an orbital transfer from the Earth to Mars, a high power and high performance spacecraft electric propulsion system is required in particular for a cargo-vehicle since electric propulsion's high specific impulse enables a large payload ratio, and hence a large mass can be conveyed to Mars within limited launch vehicle capability. In this study, 100-N-class Magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) arcjet system was conceptually designed, and the thruster head design was experimentally demonstrated by using a pulsed operation, in which a capacitor bank as a power source. Such an test can prevent a steady operation that requires large and continuous power and vacuum facilities.
