Abstract

<p>  The magnetic nozzle RF plasma thruster simply consists of a radiofrequency (RF) discharge and a magnetic nozzle. The high density plasma produced by inductively-coupled and/or helicon-wave-coupled discharge is transported along the axial magnetic field lines to the open source exit; the spontaneous plasma acceleration and momentum conversion processes seem to contribute to enhance the thrust generation. Current status of the studies on the fundamental physics and the performance improvement will be shown here.</p>
