Abstract
Due to its high specific impulse,high thrust density and intrinsic capability with on-board nuclear power,the magnetoplasmadynamic thruster (MPDT) has become an attractive option for large delta-v deep space missions in the future. The development history of MPDT technology is reviewed,the thrust generation mechanism and thrust models are summarized. The effects of propellant,operation instabilities,power deposition,electrode structure and cathode erosion etc. on the thruster performance are analyzed. In view of MPDTs technology and future application,some relative knowledge and suggestions are given.
