Scientific paper

Experiments on a pulsed microwave-beaming thruster were conducted using a millimeter-wave, high-power gyrotrons developed by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Plasma inside of 2-dimensional and axsymmetric parabola reflectors were observed using a high-speed camera. Propagation velocity of the discharge front was well agreed with theoretical prediction assuming nonequilibrium photo ionization. Plasma was found to develop in three directions in a reflector absorbing direct or reflected microwaves. Shock wave propagation velocity varied depending on the distance from focal point and on angle from optical axis.
