摘要: In this paper, the design and performances of a pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) for nanosatellite applications will be presented. The breadboard model PPT presented in paper part six PPTs propulsion system designed to provide attitude translational control 20-kg total delta-V 40 m/s. have been characterized terms electrical parameters, mass bit, impulse specific impulse. was found compliant with mission requirement. Moreover, preliminary electromagnetic noise interference measurements performed. spark plug discharge main source as already by previous authors. From collected data, it can inferred that is mostly radiated.
