Abstract:
Operation of an ion engine in space requires an electron source to maintain the spacecraft's electrical neutrality. To neutralize exhausted ions, a low-power, compact microwave electron source was developed. An 18-mm-diameter noncavity-type discharge chamber consisting of an L-shaped antenna and a magnetic circuit was developed, and electron emission current of 100 mA was obtained at the power level of 10 W, maintaining the mass flow rate of xenon at 0.5 sccm.
