Abstract

The early stage of development of stationary plasma thrusters (SPTs) and thrusters with an anode layer (TAL) is touched upon, the construction diagrams of today’s pilot and flight models of SPTs are considered, and basic design features characteristic of these models are emphasized. Morozov’s concepts underlying early SPT models and their influence on implementing these features are described. It is shown that some of his concepts were considerably revised in the course of SPT implementation, which is commonplace for any type of equipment.
