This was the first thruster fired in the newly-built vacuum chamber setup.https://jonathanlun.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture-of-a-vacuum-arc-thruster-prototype-firing-in-a-vacuum-chamber.jpgPrototype Vacuum Arc Thruster firing in a vacuum chamberUpgraded VAT being tested in the chamber (2013). In the foreground, a Faraday Cup probe measures the ions ejected by the plasma thruster, which is firing to the right.2013-09-11T17:55:03+00:00weekly0.6https://jonathanlun.wordpress.com/about/2013-09-11T16:42:09+00:00weekly0.6https://jonathanlun.wordpress.comdaily1.02017-01-05T15:29:16+00:00
