Description

The poster aims to present my work as an EGT in the ESA Propulsion Laboratory during an ion thruster test campaign. The test campaign will be explained through the visual example of an ion created inside the thruster and flying through and eventually out of it to produce thrust. The poster includes explanations of thrust measurement principles and also difficulties encountered during the test campaign.
