Paper doi abstract bibtex Superconductor magnets generate high magnetic fields which can increase the performance of electric propulsion devices, but many such thruster operational regimes remain unexplored. In this work, a superconductor magnet and electrostatic thruster were integrated on a thrust measurement stand. Thruster performance was characterised at applied fields of up to 0.8 T, representing a significant advance for applied-field plasma thrusters. Thermal behaviour of the cryogenic magnet was assessed. A convex anode enabled ignition at high magnetic fields, and in this configuration thruster performance was measured in the range of 1 kW to 2.5 kW and 0.6 T to 0.8 T.
