The technology development of the 30-cm J-series mercury ion thruster for prime propulsion application in solar electric propulsion systems has been conducted at NASA-Lewis Research Center. This development included the fabrication and testing of the 30-cm thruster. The present J-series thruster design is the result of an intensive effort to eliminate real and potential design deficiencies that were uncovered during initial endurance, structural, and performance tests. A standardized set of test and data recording procedure was formulated to allow for the characterization of the J-series thruster. This paper briefly reviews the design of the J-series thruster and presents a compilation of recent test results that define the J-series thruster characteristics.
