2 Outlook on this Presentation Introduction (Alfv( Alfvén Wave Physics) Working Principle and Classification of the MOA Concept MOA in the Context of Advanced Propulsion Design and Test of the MOA Thruster Obtained Test Results Outlook Conclusion 19/02/2007 STSC 2007: MOA Presentation - 2 -

3 Introduction: Alfvén s Discovery ature letter in 1942 Postulation that oscillating magnetic fields accelerate ionised matter via magnetohydrodynamic interactions in a wave like fashion Later observed in certain plasma phenomena, Wolf-Rayet stars and fusion reactors 19/02/2007 STSC 2007: MOA Presentation - 3 -

4 Working Principle and Classification of the MOA Concept The controlled use of a plasma source and two magnetic coils generates a periodically deformation of the system s magnetic field. This deformation generates Alfvén waves, which compress and transport the propulsive medium with high efficiency MOA is a thermo-electrodynamic accelerator! 19/02/2007 STSC 2007: MOA Presentation - 4 -

6 MOA in the Context of advanced Propulsion (1/3) MOA is a flexible adv. Propulsion system Different propellants can be used ( 2, H 2, Xe, etc.) A real-time adaptation of MOA between the P, F and I SP parameters is possible during flight E.g. Xe-Thruster (simulation values): P = 6.2 kw; I SP = 2411 s, F = m P = 11.2 kw; I SP = s, F = 12.9 m MOA s superior I SP can make a difference: Destination Planet Total Velocity Increment [km/s] Moon 6,00 Mars 25,00 Saturn 70,00 Pluto 180,00 Chemical Engine (SSME) Ratio of Fuel Mass to S/C Mass (m Fuel /m S/C ) uclear Fission (ERVA) MOA Concept uclear Fusion (GDM) I SP = 455 s I SP = 825 s I SP = s I SP = s 2,84E+00 1,10E+00 0,06 0, ,70E+02 2,10E+01 0,29 0, ,47E+06 5,70E+03 1,04 0, ,26E+17 4,56E+09 5,26 0, /02/2007 STSC 2007: MOA Presentation - 6 -
