A vacuum test campaign evaluating the impulsive thrust performance of a tapered
RF test article excited in the TM212 mode at 1,937 megahertz (MHz) has been com
pleted. The test campaign consisted of a forward thrust phase and reverse thrust phase
at less than 8 x 10 Torr vacuum with power scans at 40 watts, 60 watts, and 80 watts.
The test campaign included a null thrust test effort to identify any mundane sources
of impulsive thrust, however none were identified. Thrust data from forward, reverse,
and null suggests that the system is consistently performing with a thrust to power
ratio of 1.2 + 0.1 mN/kW.

Ну и чо физикам с этим делать теперь?
