Plasma contactor performance characterizationThe plasma contactor performance is outlined. Some performance objectives are given including expellant compatibility, high electron production capability, high ion production capability, high reliability for starting and operation, passive emission control, switchover capability between ion/electron emission, low ion and electron energies, low system mass, and low expellant consumption rate. The basic elements of the hollow cathode are shown along with key features of the plasma source.
