A thermal management system (5) for a magnetoplasmadynamic thruster (10) for a space craft is disclosed. The thermal management system (5) is located between at least one superconducting magnet (120) and a plasma discharge unit (15 and comprises a thermal barrier (40, 60) located adjacent to the plasma discharge unit (15), —a multilayer insulation (70) located between the thermal barrier (40, 60) and the cryostat insulation (80), and a radiation gap (50) located in the thermal barrier (40, 60).
