Shuichi Sato, +135 more
TL;DR: DECIGO (DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory) is the planned Japanese space gravitational wave antenna, aiming to detect gravitational waves from astrophysically and cosmologically significant sources mainly between 1 Hz and 10 Hz as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and Demonstration of a Cathodeless Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Thruster

TL;DR: The electron-cyclotron-resonance microwave discharge ion thruster system as mentioned in this paper utilizes no cathodes to emit thermionic electrons for plasma generation in both the ion source and the neutralizer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Powered flight of electron cyclotron resonance ion engines on hayabusa explorer

TL;DR: The electron cyclotron resonance ion engine has long life and high reliability because of electrodeless plasma generation in both the ion generator and the neutralizer as discussed by the authors, and four μ10s, each generating a thrust of 8 mN, specific impulse of 3200 s, and consuming 350 W of electric power, propelled the Hayabusa asteroid explorer launched on May 2003.
