Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text systematically develops the concepts of electrical acceleration of gases for propulsion. Starting with primary physical principles and concluding with realistic space thruster designs, it surveys aspects of electricity, magnetism, and ionized gas mechanics underlying physical mechanisms of gas acceleration. 1968 edition.Jahn, Robert G. is the author of 'Physics of Electric Propulsion', published 2006 under ISBN 9780486450407 and ISBN 0486450406.
