A multiple thruster array for 30-cm thrustersA 3.0 m diameter chamber of the 7.6 m diameter by 21.4 m long vacuum tank was modified to permit testing of an array of up to six 30-cm thrusters with a variety of laboratory and thermal vacuum breadboard power systems. A primary objective of the Multiple Thruster Array (MTA) program is to assess the impact of multiple thruster operation on individual thruster and power processor requirements. The areas of thruster startup, steady-state operation, throttling, high voltage recycle, thrust vectoring, and shutdown are of special concern. The results of initial tests are reported.
