The programme of studies on the cesium contact ion thruster has given rise to a close collaboration between groups of scientists at ONERA and LEP. It has benefited from the technology of the materials and the means of testing of ONERA associated with the experience of LEP in the techniques of electronic tubes. The complementarity means and methods put into operation were particularly outstanding for the elaboration of the ionizer materials and the theoretical determination of the ion optics as well as for the elaboration and experimentation of the engineering model.
