Funded Activity Summary

Current-free double layers applied to astrophysical objects and space propulsion. The collaboration between the ANU research group and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) ASTRIUM, the largest European aerospace company, is a unique opportunity for Australia to capitalize on the new discovery of the Helicon Double Layer Thruster made at the ANU. This will allow the Australian space community to stay abreast of international developments in space propulsion and to be with the forerunners of this new technology. ANU will have direct access to EADS-ASTRIUM via the relationships developed in this project putting Australia in the enviable position of being an insider in future space developments concerning plasma thrusters and space technology in general.
