Coaxial-Hollow Cathode has been Assembled
A newer LaB6 hollow cathode that employs a creative coaxial design has been manufactured. A patent application for the most current design is in preparation stage. The built cathode has been successfully tested inside the BUSTLab vacuum chamber. This latest cathode has been through tens of start-ups and shut-downs, and has been run with BUSTLab Hall effect thrusters for long hours without problems.
