4 Chapter 1 Resistojet Resistojets are electrothermal devices in which the propellant is heated by passing through a resistively heated chamber or over a resistively heated element before entering a downstream nozzle. The increase in exhaust velocity is due to the thermal heating of the propellant, which limits the Isp to low levels (<500 s). Arcjet An arcjet is also an electrothermal thruster that heats the propellant by passing it though a high current arc in line with the nozzle feed system. While there is an electric discharge involved in the propellant path, plasma effects are insignificant in the exhaust velocity because the propellant is weakly ionized. The Isp is limited by the thermal heating to less than about 700 s for easily stored propellants. Ion Thruster Ion thrusters employ a variety of plasma generation techniques to ionize a large fraction of the propellant. These thrusters then utilize biased grids to electrostatically extract ions from the plasma and accelerate them to high velocity at voltages up to and exceeding 10 kV. Ion thrusters feature the highest efficiency (from 60% to >80%) and very high specific impulse (from 2000 to over 10,000 s) compared to other thruster types. Hall Thruster This type of electrostatic thruster utilizes a cross-field discharge described by the Hall effect to generate the plasma. An electric field established perpendicular to an applied magnetic field electrostatically accelerates ions to high exhaust velocities, while the transverse magnetic field inhibits electron motion that would tend to short out the electric field. Hall thruster efficiency and specific impulse is somewhat less than that achievable in ion thrusters, but the thrust at a given power is higher and the device is much simpler and requires fewer power supplies to operate. Electrospray/Field Emission Electric Propulsion Thruster These are two types of electrostatic electric propulsion devices that generate very low thrust (<1 mN). Electrospray thrusters extract ions or charged droplets from conductive liquids fed through small needles and accelerate them electrostatically with biased, aligned apertures to high energy. Field emission electric propulsion (FEEP) thrusters wick or transport liquid metals (typically indium or cesium) along needles, extracting ions from the sharp tip by field
