Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cross-field electron transport in Hall thruster was investigated using experimental and nuemerical methods to improve the performance of Hall thruster and the accuracy of plasma simulation. As typical results obtained in this study, the experimental evaluation of 100-W class Hall thruster demonstrated that the discharge channel narrowing required an increase in the magnetic field strength in order to restrict the increase in the cross-field electron transport. The experimental evaluation of 2-kW class Hall thruster demonstrated that low discharege channel erosion rate was achieved using the magnetically shielding configuration. In addtion, the pole-piece interactions with the discahrge plasma affected cross-field eletron transport in Hall thruster.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果を活用し、数値解析技術の精度向上を進めることによって、実験と数値解析を併用した効率的なホール推進機の開発手法の確立とこれによる各出力レベルの高効率ホール推進機の開発を実現する。これにより、宇宙空間における輸送コストの半減による宇宙利用の低価格化が促進され,地球観測衛星による地球環境の把握、通信衛星による遠距離通信環境の堅持、宇宙探査機による人類起源の探求、太陽光発電衛星によるエネルギー問題の解決、などへの貢献が期待できる。
