Research abstract
The path towards high-power Hall thruster development lies in the fundamental understanding and modification of electron tranport processes within the plasma discharge channel. This development effort will build on the successes in phase I and focus on analytical and computational modeling leading to a high-power Hall thruster configuration design.
