SPT-100

Currently, the SPT-100 is the only thruster with data available in hallmd.data. Data for the SPT-100 comes from three sources:

  1. Diamant et al. 2014 - provides thrust, cathode coupling voltage, and ion current density data as a function of chamber background pressure.
  2. Macdonald et al. 2019 - provides ion velocity profiles for varying chamber pressures.
  3. Sankovic et al. 1993 - provides thrust at varying operating conditions.
