SUMMARY:Plasma Propulsion for Space Applications – Technological Trends
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Dr. Dan Lev\n Faculty:Space Propulsion Systems Dept.\n
  Institute:Rafael - Advanced Defense Systems\n Location:Classroom 165\, gr
 ound floor\, Library\, Aerospace Eng.\n Zoom: \n Abstract: \n Details: \n 
 In the past two decades\, plasma propulsion for space applications has see
 n an increasing use for all types of satellites\, from hefty GEO communica
 tions satellites\, through tiny cubesats and to deep space missions. In pa
 rticular\, thanks to the propellant mass savings associated with using pla
 sma propulsion\, it is the leading candidate for communications satellite 
 mega-constellations in low earth orbit\, such as those proposed by SpaceX 
 and OneWeb. In addition\, the financial incentives in employing efficient 
 plasma thrusters drove both industry and academia to develop new types of 
 plasma thrusters. To date\, a myriad of technological subclasses of plasma
  propulsion exist\, each at a different Technological Readiness Level (TRL
 ).\nThe presentation will cover the basic aspects of plasma propulsion and
  present its physical concepts. The presentation will then focus on curren
 t technological trends with their implementation in contemporary space mis
 sions. Lastly\, the presentation will briefly present current developments
  at Rafael\, all focused on Hall thruster based propulsion systems.
