Abstract

Two types of measurement methods are given to determine the low impulse involved in the working process of pulsed electromagnetic plasma thrusters. Different mechanical devices, including pendulum and critical stress thrust stands, are introduced and compared with others concomitant with respective typical applications. Advantages as well as disadvantages of these thrust stands are discussed, which can provide a favorable reference for pulsed electromagnetic plasma thrusters' micro-impulse measurement and research.
