🙌 Students of CMU Chaminade learned about plasma thrusters yesterday from our PI Mario Merino 🚀

🤩Our PhD student @DavMadda is at ONERA for a research stay! Over the next 3months, he will investigate oscillations and instabilities within the nozzle of an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Thruster (ECRT) prototype. 🚀Keep an eye out for updates on his progress!

How could we not celebrate World Space Week?🥳 Read our PI's interview in honour of the week 👇

The latest results of ZARATHUSTRA were shared during the 76th Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference this October🚀 A big thank you to the organizers! We presented work by our team members Mario Merino, FilippoTerragni, @DavMadda, Diego García, MatteoRipoli, EnriqueBello

#NewPaper: Analysis of a cusped Helicon Plasma Thruster discharge!👉t.ly/2HEyK We study a novel cusped field HPT using experiments & simulations!🔑for reliable, cheap & efficient space transportation Funding: #H2020 project HIPATIA, European Research Council (ERC) project ZARATHUSTRA

Congratulations to our PI for his impressive achievement🎉
