Strategic Objectives
• Decode the complex physics of crossed-field ionized gas behavior.
• Identify and mitigate the 'breathing mode' and other disruptive oscillations.
• Extend thruster lifespan by understanding plasma-wall interaction dynamics.
• Master the predictive modeling of E-field induced erosion patterns.
The Core Challenge
Deep-space propulsion faces a critical bottleneck: the chaotic plasma instabilities and relentless wall erosion that degrade Hall Effect Thrusters.
