Endurance testing of the STAR additively manufactured resistojet
Matthew Robinson, Dr Angelo Grubisic, Dr Federico Romei and Christopher Ogunlesi Space Propulsion 2018 14/05/18 → 18/05/18 Seville, Spain Introduction The potential of an all-electric spacecraft is enhanced by the possibility of a single integrated propellant supply. A common propellant choice is xenon. This creates new performance demands for a high-temperature xenon resistojet, elevating the hot gas …
