Abstract
The proposed doctoral research aims at boosting the technology development of the Helicon Plasma Thruster by supporting and linking two development lines: an industrial line, whose goal is to increase the technology readiness level (TRL), focused in the consolidation of an Engineering model (EM), and a research line, whose primary goal is to better understand the underlying physical processes of the technology.
