Abstract

ime-correlated high-sample rate measurements of Hall current, plasma potential, and visible emission will be experimentally gathered from a commercially sourced 600 W Permanent Magnet Hall Thruster. These data will be analyzed to correlate behavior of plasma instabilities and determine causal relationships between plasma properties and anomalous diffusion modes. Additionally, the data will be compared to data from a very similar commercially sourced 600 W Electromagnet Hall Thruster to eliminate geometric differences as causal to behavior.
