The event will take place in the Salón de Grados del Auditorio on Tuesday, May 26th, at 13:00 H and it will be streamed online.
Dr Ryudo Tsukizaki is an Associate Professor at Japan’s Space Agency “JAXA.” He holds Ph.D degree in the field of electric propulsion with 16 years of experience in plasma diagnostics by laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, laser absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy for a wide variety of electric propulsion, such as ion thrusters, Hall thrusters, and electrosprays. He developed of the flight model of microwave ion thruster system of the asteroid sample return mission HAYABUSA2 and currently works on the flight model of the asteroid probe “DESTINY+”, which will be launched in 2028.
“Research and Development of Electric Propulsion at Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (ISAS/JAXA)”
Abstract:
In this seminar, the speaker will first provide a general introduction to the Japanese Space Agency (“JAXA”) and the activities of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), focusing specifically on Electric Propulsion missions such as the commercial debris removal spacecraft, Engineering Test Satellite XI, Hayabusa, Hayabusa2, and DESTINY⁺. Secondly, technical details of EP research topics will be presented. The EP laboratory at ISAS/JAXA works on microwave discharge gridded ion thrusters, air-breathing gridded ion thrusters, electrosprays, and plasma diagnostics, involving graduate students.
The seminar will begin at 13:00 pm and will take place in the Salón de Grados del Auditorio.
No previous registration will be required.
