Electric propulsion systems operate with high efficiency, however they generate low thrust. Therefore pendulum based sensitive measurement systems are used for thrust measurements of electric propulsion systems. In this study, a thrust stand is developed and built for the thrust measurements of electric thrusters. The thrust stand that is developed is based on inverted pendulum configuration, and...
Electric propulsion systems provide a higher delta-V for the same mass of propellant when compared to chemical propulsion systems due to their higher Isp levels. Many electric propulsion systems utilize cathodes as electron source. Hollow cathodes generate electron current through thermionic emission mechanism. In this study conventional hollow cathode designs are investigated numerically and experimentally...
