Development of electrothermal thrusters
University of Surrey x URA Thrusters Ltd & George Sadler
The project will be carried out at the University of Surrey and supported by the company URA Thrusters Ltd.
The project focuses on the development of electrothermal thrusters to be used in a high-efficiency solar-electric upper-stage for launch vehicles to enhance the range of reachable orbits. The project comprises plasma physics and engineering modelling, design, prototyping and testing of the thrusters under investigation.
