Abstract
The concept of a second generation Hall-current plasma accelerator (AT ON-thruster), which has record performance characteristics, is describ ed. A method is proposed for analyzing the operation parameters of the accelerator on the basis of its performance characteristics. The resu lts of measurements of plasma parameters in the accelerator channel an d outflowing jet are presented. Attention is given to determining the share of doubly ionized ions in the flow.
