A 30-cm diameter bombardment thruster with a variable magnetic baffleVariable magnetic baffles were used to allow a change in baffle geometry to improve thruster performance and stability. Test results are presented. Thruster performance characteristics were analyzed to show how magnetic baffle field strength can improve performance at a fixed beam current, as well as increase the range of ion beam current for throttling.
