“…Next, using the data obtained in [1,13,14,15] and taking ΔU¼5 kV ions accelerating field at an electric field intensity of Е¼5 kV/mm, the EPT operational data are the following: ion current intensity limit j¼330 mA/cm 2 , ion flow velocity V flow ¼86 km/s, specific impulse value J¼8600 s, and traction value F¼ 140 mN. The obtained assessed values of j, V flow , J, and F correspond or exceed the values of those characteristics known in the best current EPT prototypes.…”
