Title: Next-Generation Ion Thruster Design Tool to Support Future Space Missions
Agency: NASA
Contract: NNX10CF60P
Award Amount: $99,875.00
 

Abstract:

Computational tools that accurately predict the performance of electric propulsion devices are highly desirable by NASA and the broader electric propulsion community. Large investments in running the long duration test programs (> 20 kHrs) at NASA GRC can be reduced with computer models and allow more focus on exploring the NEXT ion thruster design for future space missions. The current state of electric propulsion modeling relies heavily on empirical data
