Among the fundamental and most challenging problems of laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma physics is to understand the relaxation processes of nearly collisionless plasmas toward quasi-stationary states and ...

Electric propulsion is now a succeful method for primary propulsion of deep space long duration missions and for geosyncronous satellite attitude control. Closed Drift Thruster, so called Hall Thruster or SPT (Stationary ...

In order to analyze varying plasma conditions upstream of Titan, we have combined a physical model of Saturn?s plasma disk with a geometrical model of the oscillating current sheet. During modeled oscillation phases where ...

The dynamics of plasmas pervading the interplanetary and interstellar medium are often described within the frame of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which involves the coupling between flows and magnetic fields. This theoretical ...

Turbulence in space plasmas usually exhibits two regimes separated by a spectral break that divides the so called inertial and kinetic ranges. Large scale magnetic fluctuations are dominated by non-linear MHD wave-wave ...

The orbit attitude control systems are of vital importance for the determination of orbital elements and the correct orientation of the satellites to ground targets. They usually work under atmospheric conditions which ...
