This dataset supports the thesis entitled A novel electrostatic feeding concept for liquid-fed pulsed plasma thrusters
AWARDED BY: Univeristy of Southampton
DATE OF AWARD: 2023

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
The thesis was created by the author, based on extended observations of a custom electorostatic and plasma device. The thesis is in PDF-A format, and should be accessible via any browser or PDF viewer.
The data supporting the thesis was submitted together with the thesis. The data is collected and analysed in three speadsheet files, with format .xlsx (Microsoft Excel).
The data was created/measured from experimetnal runs of an electrostatic pump, and running a pulsed plasma thruster device inside a vacuum chamber.

This dataset contains:
