Laboratory Goals:

  1. To increase the performance and efficiency of high-power electric propulsion (EP) devices
  2. To identify and understand spacecraft integration issues that may prevent widespread use of EP systems on spacecraft
  3. To understand the life-limiting factors of EP devices
  4. To identify non-propulsion applications of EP systems (e.g., space-plasma simulation and re-entry flow simulation)
