This work is devoted to the calculation of the composition for a monoatomic plasma (argon in
the case presented) for which the assumption of thermal equilibrium is not realized. The …

Plasmas containing carbon cover a wide range of application, either using graphite
electrodes or carbon containing plasma gas. The study of the C2 molecule is an interesting …

Le transport du courant électrique sur de longues distances nécessite l'emploi de la haute-
tension pour minimiser les pertes en énergie. Toutefois, lorsqu'un défaut survient sur le …

In this paper we are presenting the full characterization of a supersonic flowing CO 2/N 2/Ar
discharge at static pressures of 1–20 Torr and Mach number 2.15. In all aspects besides the …

When detecting the underground structure of Mars using an orbital subsurface investigation
radar, it is essential to compensate for the ionosphere distortion of the received echo. The …

In this paper we report the on the state of effort to characterize Mars entry plasma as a
potential work fluid for on–board power generating systems, and a chemical reactor medium …

Since the initial deployments of probes, orbiters, and rovers on Mars, there have been many
ideas and concepts on how to perform an entry, descent, and landing (EDL) process …

missions to Mars, of which only 26 have been successful. The red planet proves to be a …

During Martian atmospheric aerobraking the plasma that forms around a spacecraft can be
considered a high-volume plasma reactor that is sustained by the dissipation of the …

A method based upon the weighted total cross section (WTCS) theory is proposed to
calculate the photo-ionisation cross sections and the radiative recombination rate …
