Presentation in IEPC 2022

Last week, from June 19^th to June 23^rd, the 37^th International Electric Propulsion Conference took place in Boston (MA, USA), hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was a great opportunity to meet again our colleagues after the COVID19 pandemic, with an intense week full of interesting meetings and fruitful technical

discussions. HIPATIA team was represented by Mrs. Mercedes Ruiz (SENER Aereospacial) presenting “Results of the first Helicon Plasma Thruster (HPT) coupling test campaign within the HIPATIA project”, Dr. Navarro Cavallé (UC3M) presenting “Direct Thrust Measurements of the HIPATIA System Thruster Unit”, Mr. Pedro Jimenez (UC3M) presenting “Numerical Simulations of the Discharge and the Plasma-wave Interaction in a Helicon Plasma Thruster”, and Mr. Alfio Vinci (CNRS), presenting “Probing xenon atoms and ions velocity in the magnetic nozzle of a helicon plasma thruster”.
