Single- and Repetitive-Pulse Conical Theta-Pinch Inductive Pulsed Plasma Thruster Performance

Impulse bits produced by conical theta-pinch inductive pulsed plasma thrusters possessing cone angles of 20°, 38°, and 60°, were quantified for 500-J/pulse operation by direct measurement using a hanging pendulum thrust stand. All three cone angles were tested in single-pulse mode, with the 38° mode...
