Electrical Facility Effects on Hall Current Thrusters: Electron Termination Pathway Manipulation

A nonnegligible fraction of the charged particles in the Hall current thruster plume completes the electrical circuit through the conductive wall of a ground-based vacuum test facility. The resultant electrical circuit is different from the electrical circuit completed by the Hall current thruster i...
