Ion dynamic characterization using phase-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy in a Hall effect thruster
Y. Dancheva, P. Coniglio, M. Da Valle +1
Significant information on the dynamics of the plasma constituents in Hall effect thrusters can be obtained using minimally-intrusive techniques such as laser-induced fluorescence…
Optimal Low-Thrust Orbit Transfers Made Easy: A Direct Approach
Mirko Leomanni, Gianni Bianchini, Andrea Garulli +1
The optimization of low-thrust, multi-revolution orbit transfer trajectories is often regarded as a difficult problem in modern astrodynamics. In this paper, a flexible and computa…
An Adaptive Groundtrack Maintenance Scheme for Spacecraft with Electric Propulsion
Mirko Leomanni, Andrea Garulli, Antonio Giannitrapani +1
In this paper, the repeat-groundtrack orbit maintenance problem is addressed for spacecraft driven by electric propulsion. An adaptive solution is proposed, which combines an hyste…
Measurement of XeI and XeII velocity in the near exit plane of a low-power Hall effect thruster by light induced fluorescence spectroscopy
Y. Dancheva, V. Biancalana, D. Pagano +1
Near exit plane non-resonant light induced fluorescence spectroscopy is performed in a Hall effect low-power Xenon thruster at discharge voltage of 250V and anode flow rate of 0.7m…
