Plasma Measurements Inside a 9 cm Hall Thruster

Plasma Measurements Inside the 1 kW Hall Thruster

This diagnostic setup was used in our previous studies of the effects of segmented electrodes and plasma instabilities in a 9 cm Hall thruster. All diagnostic tools were installed inside a 28 m3 vacuum vessel equipped with a diffusion pump (12,000 l/s for Xenon gas).
