The invention relates to an electric thruster, in particular to a multistage cusped
magnetic field plasma thruster with a channel
magnetic field guide structure, so as to solve the problems that
magnetic field configuration of an existing thruster and the position of a
magnetic mirror tip cannot be adjusted conveniently according to section changes of a
discharge channel, the angle of a magnetic interface at the
magnetic mirror tip is not easy to adjust, and a
samarium cobalt permanent
magnet material for variable cross-section experiments is long in
processing cycle and high in cost. The
plasma thruster comprises a
ceramic bushing, an engine casing, four permanent magnets, five magnetic-conducting rings and five non-magnetic-conducting matching rings, the permanent magnets are round permanent magnets and arranged sequentially from top to bottom, the
ceramic bushing is arranged among the four permanent magnets, the large-
diameter port of the
ceramic bushing faces upwards, the four permanent magnets are clamped together through the engine casing; the five magnetic-conducting rings are a first magnetic-conducting ring, a second magnetic-conducting ring, a third magnetic-conducting ring, a fourth magnetic-conducting ring and a fifth magnetic-conducting ring respectively. The
plasma thruster is applied to the field of
spaceflight.
