Chapter 3 Basic Plasma Physics - NASA
Electric propulsion achieves high specific impulse by the acceleration of charged particles to high velocity. The charged particles are produced by ionization of a propellant gas, which creates both ions and electrons and forms what is called a plasma. Plasma is then a collection of the various charged

Chapter 1 Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) Imaging Basics
descanso.jpl.nasa.govSAR Imaging Basics 5 This is also a good time to point out that there are two different meanings for the term range in radar imaging.The first is the so -called slant range and refers to the range along the radar line-of-sight, as shown in Fig. 1-3. Slant ranges are measured along the line connecting the radar and the object being imaged, often

The compressors that supplied high-pressure helium gas to the antenna-mounted Cryodynes® often contaminated the helium with the lubricant used in the compressor. The expression “oil carry-over” was used often when reporting Cryodyne® warm-ups (failures).

The pitch angle θ of the particle’s path is given by tanθ = v⊥/v k, that is, θ is the angle between the vectors v and B. Since v k × B = 0, v k = constant. The acceleration is perpendicular to the magnetic ...

Cathode rays are called cathode rays because they are emitted by the negative electrode, or cathode, in a vacuum tube. In 1897, an English physicist Sir J.J. Thomson showed that the rays were made up of a stream of negatively charged particles.

ocw.mit.eduMotion of Charged Particles in Fields Plasmas are complicated because motions of electrons and ions are determined by the electric and magnetic fields but also change the fields by the currents they carry. For now we shall ignore the second part of the problem and assume that Fields are Prescribed.
