Abstract of the dataset | Ignition and operation testing of the hollow cathode electron emitter (HCE) designed at the Institute of Aerospace Engineering of TUD Dresden University of Technology for the E.T.PACK-Fly in-orbit demonstration (IOD) mission with a C12A7:e- electron emitter. Testing conducted in triode mode with different laboratory electronics (e.g., 100–300 µF), krypton gas, and variable operating parameters (i.e., emission current and mass flow rate). | |

Project abstract | E.T.PACK-Fly is an EIC Transition Project funded by the European Innovation Council with 2.5 M€. The team of the project includes Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M, Coordinator), the University of Padova, the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden), the Spanish company SENER Aeroespacial and the German start-up Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA). The main goal of E.T.PACK-F is to prepare a Ready-to-Fly (TRL 8) deorbit device based on ElectroDynamic Tether (EDT) technology. Two partners of the E.T.PACK-F consortium, SENER Aeroespacial and RFA, has signed a Launch Service Agreement to make an in-orbit-demonstration of the deorbit device in 2025. | |
