Hall-effect propulsion

CubeSats currently have an average lifespan of 3 years before they disintegrate in low atmospheric orbit. The thrust

Part Two of this volume is entitled Introduction. It too has four chapters. Chapter 5 presents a study of the influence of diverse fields on flames Chapter 6 discusses a classic application of the Peltier effect Chapter 7 is devoted to metal/plasma interaction, and more speciffcally to the Langmuir probe, and finally Chapter 8 discusses space propulsion by the Hall effect.
