Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text systematically develops the concepts of electrical acceleration of gases for propulsion. Author Robert G. Jahn, Professor of Aerospace Sciences at Princeton University, starts his presentation with primary physical principles and concludes with realistic space thruster designs.Part I consists of a survey of those aspects of electricity, magnetism, and ionized gas mechanics that underlie the physical mechanisms for gas acceleration. These topics constitute the main body of the text. Part II's broad division into the categori

"Understand the fundamental basis of spaceflight with this cutting-edge guide. As spacecraft engineering continues to advance, so too do the propulsion methods by which humans explore the solar system and will seek out the stars. Electric rocket propulsion has been the subject of considerable innovation and application in recent years, with thousands of electric thrusters now operating in space. For professionals in spacecraft engineering and closely related fields, this book provides critical knowledge that can alter the future of space flight. Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion offers a thorough grounding in electric propulsion for spacecraft, particularly the features and mechanisms underlying electrostatic and electromagnetic thrusters. Updated in the light of rapidly expanding knowledge, the second edition of this essential guide covers thruster principles, plasma physics, and more. It reflects the significant accomplishments by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in this field, and promises to be a must-own volume for spacecraft engineering professionals."
