Student Travel Support To Attend International Electric Propulsion Conference

会议将讨论的主题涵盖电推进(EP)的所有领域，如：霍尔推进器、离子推进器、场发射和胶体推进器、MPD(磁等离子体动态)推进器、脉冲等离子推进器、电阻喷射/电弧喷射、其他电热、电磁或静电推进器概念、创新或先进的电力推进概念、阴极和其他组件和材料技术、EP推进剂供给系统、EP系统的电力和电力处理。在上述任何概念或系统上，感兴趣的主题包括但不限于：物理、基础研究、分析建模、数值模拟、实验室和空间测试、诊断学、生命周期表征、任务分析、系统分析、开发应用和飞行体验。研究领域的未来取决于吸引聪明的年轻人。IEPC有着鼓励和促进来自世界各地的学生参与的强大传统。该奖项将为博士生出席会议并在会上展示他们的工作成果提供部分差旅支持。学生旅行奖竞赛将通过会议网站公布。申请者将被要求发送他们的摘要和研究顾问的支持信。申请将由技术委员会审查。将优先考虑妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。科技进步将得益于学生与美国和外国参与者之间的互动。

Subjects that will be addressed in the conference cover all areas of electric propulsion (EP), such as: Hall Thrusters, Ion Thrusters, Field Emission and Colloid Thrusters, MPD (magneto-plasma dynamic) Thrusters, Pulsed Plasma Thrusters, Resistojets/Arcjets, Other electrothermal, electromagnetic or electrostatic thruster concepts, Innovative or advanced electric propulsion concepts, Cathode and other component and materials technologies, EP propellant feed systems, Power and power processing for EP systems. On any of the above concepts or systems the topics of interest include but are not limited to: Physics, Fundamental studies, Analytical Modeling, Numerical simulations, Laboratory and Space Testing, Diagnostics, Lifetime Characterization, Mission Analysis, Systems Analysis, Development Application, and In-flight experience. The future of the research field depends upon attracting bright young people. The IEPC has a strong tradition of encouraging and promoting student participation from all over the world. This award will provide partial travel support for PhD students to attend and present the results of their work at the meeting. Student travel award competition will be announced via the conference web site. Applicants will be asked to send their Abstract and letter of support from the research adviser. Applications will be reviewed by the Technical Committee. Preference will be given to women and underrepresented minorities. Scientific and technological advances will be aided by the interaction among students and the US and foreign participants.
