Microthrusters based on the T5 and T6 hollow cathodes
Small spacecraft with limited on-board resources would benefit greatly from the development of a low power, low cost microthruster able to offer propellant savings over conventional alternatives and enable higher energy missions.

The Impact of Planar-Geometry Cathodes on Hall Thruster Performance
Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2023This thesis explores the viability of planar cathodes for improving Hall thruster performance. A mathematical model is presented that calculates how the total efficiency of a Hall thruster changes when ...

Predicting Performance of Hall Effect Ion Source Using Machine Learning
This study introduces HallNN, a machine learning tool for predicting Hall effect ion source performance using a neural network ensemble trained on data generated from numerical simulations. HallNN provides faster and more accurate predictions than numerical methods and traditional scaling laws, making it valuable for designing and optimizing Hall ...

High Fidelity Multi-Objective Design Optimization of a Downscaled Cusped Field Thruster
The Cusped Field Thruster (CFT) concept has demonstrated significantly improved performance over the Hall Effect Thruster and the Gridded Ion Thruster; however, little is understood about the complexities of the interactions and interdependencies of the ...

A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...
