摘要： A thrust producing system includes an RF ion thruster with a discharge chamber having a gas inlet and an outlet, and a coil about the discharge chamber. The system further includes an RF cathode proximate the discharge chamber outlet of the RF ion thruster for ion beam neutralization. The RF cathode includes a discharge chamber having a gas inlet and an outlet and a coil about the discharge chamber. A tank for containing iodine in solid form and a heater associated with said tank to produce iodine vapor. A feed subsystem fluidly couples the tank with the RF ion thruster discharge chamber gas inlet and with the RF cathode discharge chamber gas inlet.

摘要： A gas production and utilization system includes an ionic liquid having an electrochemical window and engineered to produce a specific gas. A power supply is configured to apply a voltage potential across electrodes disposed in the ionic liquid at a level higher than the electrochemical window of the ionic liquid to decompose the ionic liquid. The resultant gas is delivered to a pressure vessel and may be utilized in a variety of different ways.
