Space Electric Propulsion Research

Research Content

Space utilization and services have been expanding, and electrical engineering is playing an important role in developing space transportation and energy systems. In this laboratory activity, students conduct researches on space electric propulsion and space energy conversion engineering. More specific research themes are as follows:
1. Electric propulsion: Electric propulsion is one type of rocket propulsion systems that uses electric energy in space. In this theme, students work on the development of electric propulsion systems, improvement of thruster performance, and elucidation of internal physics.
2. Space environment utilization: The space environment exhibits various characteristics such as atmospheric gas, geomagnetic field, and solar wind plasma in addition to solar energy. In this theme, students develop technologies using the space environment for new possibilities of space missions and transportation systems.
3. Plasma engineering: Plasma is a keyword in electric propulsion research. Students work on experiments and numerical simulations for understanding of plasma physics and development of new plasma devices.
