Welcome to Ion engine
The demand for mN class miniature propulsion systems is expected to grow in the future. Miniature microwave discharge ion engines are candidates for use as miniature propulsion systems, since an ion engine produces high thrust efficiency with a specific impulse of 3,000-8,000 sec.
1. Miniature ion engine can be used for
2. primary propulsion of Mars exploration
3. Self-disposal of satellites whose missions have been completed will
also be possible, eliminating destruction or retrieval costs
4. Precise high-stability attitude and position control in large spacecraft
We have been studying physics inside the miniature ion engine using laser diagnostics as well as neumerical simulation code. In addition, we have been developing real time lifetime evaluation system using Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy(CRDS)
