Development and characterization of an inertial electrostatic confinement thruster
… were obtained. As an addition, helicon plasma injection into the IEC was studied, and based on findings suitable recommendations for the development of the helicon-injected IEC thruster were proposed.

Remote sensing of Jupiter's magnetospheric dynamics
… two studies discuss the radial transport of hot plasma injections from reconnection return flow. The auroral evidence for a global magnetospheric disturbance is examined and it is found that the aurora showed a significantly super-rotating polar spot poleward of the main emission on the dawnside. …

Computational and experimental analysis of HIIPER MPD propulsion system
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is a deep space electric propulsion system developed on the principles of inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion and helicon plasma injection. It is a stepping stone towards a variable impulse pulsed fusion rocket. HIIPER …

Analysis of energy balance in a helicon coupled to an inertial electrostatic confinement device
The characteristics of the helicon plasma injection into the IEC were explored. The first such analysis was a COMSOL simulation to determine the voltage as a function of position in the helicon dielectric tube when the IEC cathode is biased to several kilovolts. This COMSOL simulation contained no …
