    <p>Time-of-flight (ToF) mass spectroscopy for electrospray thrusters was constructed to investigate the species and fraction of ions in the beam and the presence of fragmentation, where a cylindrical shield was placed just in front of the collector. The shield was expected to prevent the detection of secondary species, which were recently found to be one of the vacuum facility effects. However, the shield seemed to have almost no effects on the ToF signals because the signal did not decrease to zero, and some particles were always detected as they had been detected without the shield. To examine the cause of this signal detection, the collector current was measured under the condition that the gate electrode completely blocked the ion beam. The results implied that the electrospray ion source also emitted some neutrals. The measurement system was reconstructed to detect ions using a high-speed amplifier to avoid neutral particle detection. Then, the results showed that the electrospray thruster was operating in the pure ion mode.</p>

  • Fabrication of a Double-Emitter Structure for Higher Current Density of Ionic Liquid Electrospray Thrusters

    <p>In this study, we have fabricated ionic liquid electrospray thrusters to prevent ionic liquid leakage and provide high current density. A double-emitter structure with a needle protruding from the capillary emitter, where the ionic liquid was intended to be held by the needle, was proposed. The fabrication process employs a fabrication technique of a field emitter array, and a newly designed process to reduce the distance between emitters was used to improve emitter density. As a result of the fabrication, the needle was successfully formed in the emitter electrode, and it was found that emitter density could be improved by changing the deposition conditions of multiple SiO<sub>2</sub> layers.<sup> </sup></p>

  • Evaluation of Grooved Needle Emitter Performance for Ionic Liquid Electrospray Thrusters

    <p>We have fabricated an externally wetted emitter array with a deep-grooved structure using grayscale lithography for ionic liquid electrospray thrusters to improve the ionic liquid transport to the emitter tips and to reduce the percentage of the current intercepted by the extractor electrode, which was more than 30% with our conventional deep-grooved emitter. The experimental results of the ion emission have shown that a stable ion emission characteristic and the percentage of the current intercepted by the extractor electrode decreases by approximately one-third compared with our previous one. This decrease indicates that the emitter fabrication process using grayscale lithography optimized the deep-grooved emitter shape.</p>

  • Microthrusters indispensable for nano/microsatellites that will lead the next-generation space industry

    <p>In recent years, many nano/microsatellites have been launched in space for various applications in near-earth orbit, and they are now used even for deep-space exploration. The situation naturally requires a micropropulsion system or microthruster. It is expected that electric propulsion will play an important role in achieving the required velocity increment (⊿<i>v</i>) because nano/microsatellites have strict constraints on space and weight. In this paper, we focus on two types of microthrusters, an ion engine and an electrospray thruster, which obtain thrust by electrostatically accelerating ions, and describe their characteristics, current results, and some issues. We also introduce electron sources, which do not directly contribute to thrust but are essential components.</p><p>In recent years, many nano/microsatellites have been launched in space for various applications in near-earth orbit, and they are now used even for deep-space exploration.

    <p>  The magnetic nozzle RF plasma thruster simply consists of a radiofrequency (RF) discharge and a magnetic nozzle. The high density plasma produced by inductively-coupled and/or helicon-wave-coupled discharge is transported along the axial magnetic field lines to the open source exit; the spontaneous plasma acceleration and momentum conversion processes seem to contribute to enhance the thrust generation. Current status of the studies on the fundamental physics and the performance improvement will be shown here.</p><p>  The magnetic nozzle RF plasma thruster simply consists of a radiofrequency (RF) discharge and a magnetic nozzle.

    <p>  A panel discussion was held to discuss the technical challenges in orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) development using electric propulsion. Electric propulsion is advantageous in the transportation of SSPS if the solar array panel in the payload can be used in the OTV. Argon is the candidate for the propellant, and the technical issues for the development of high-power argon-propellant thruster are discussed. The collaboration with the ground launch vehicle is indispensable to attain the SSPS, in addition to the cross-field collaboration for the optimization of the OTV. The necessity of technology demonstration missions and technical roadmap is reconfirmed to promote the collaboration among the researchers.</p><p>  A panel discussion was held to discuss the technical challenges in orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) development using electric propulsion.
