Specific Features of Transient Processes in Stationary Plasma Thrusters and a Device for Their Simulation

The paper demonstrates the advisability of studying characteristics of transient processes in every component of a new high-pulse dual-mode correction unit based on the stationary plasma thruster during its firing, steady-state operation in all main modes, and cutoff for the purpose of considering the influence of gas-discharge processes on performance of the high-pulse dual-mode correction unit components.
