About
C. Tellini is a specialist in electric propulsion for space applications, with a primary focus on the diagnostics and optimization of high-power Hall Effect thrusters (HETs). Their key research areas include plasma plume characterization, hollow cathode performance, and the use of advanced probe diagnostics to extend thruster lifetime. Tellini’s most notable contribution is the detailed experimental analysis of a LaB₆ hollow cathode using triple Langmuir probes, a study that provides critical insights into plasma behavior under high-power conditions. This work, published in 2019, has garnered 3 citations and addresses a central challenge for next-generation manned and robotic missions: achieving operational lifetimes on the order of 10⁴ hours. By advancing the understanding of plasma plume dynamics and cathode erosion mechanisms, Tellini’s research directly supports the development of more durable and efficient propulsion systems. Their findings are essential for engineers designing long-duration space missions, where reliability and performance are paramount.
