Development of a modelling tool for performance optimization in pulsed plasma thrusters

Mar Space Ltd是第一家提供适用于立方体卫星和纳米卫星运营的脉冲等离子体推进器（PPT）的公司。由于这些类型的卫星可以增加他们的能力，例如，增加他们在太空中的寿命，编队飞行或修改他们的轨道，最终增加他们可以提供的服务，因此他们的经济价值。使用这种模型将使该财团避免长时间的经验设计阶段，从而导致更短和更便宜的设计时间和最终产品。这将使火星航天公司能够更快地响应客户，证明具有成本效益的定制推进解决方案。

Mar Space Ltd is the first company to offer pulsed plasma thruster (PPTs) suitable to cubesat and nanosatellites operations. Thanks to PPTs these classes of satellites can increase their capability e.g. increasing their lifetime in space, flying in a formation or modifying their orbit ultimately increasing the services they can provide hence their economic value.The aim of this project is to develop a mathematical model to be used to design PPTs with optimized performances. The use of such a model will allow the consortium to avoid long empirical design phase hence resulting in shorter and cheaper design time and final product. This will allow Mars Space to respond more quickly to customers proving cost effective tailored propulsion solution.
