In this paper fundamental definitions and a few semiempirical correlations of experimental data of solid propellant pulsed plasma thrusters are used to illustrate the design analysis of such propulsion systems. The design analysis presented facilitates the design of a thruster to meet a specific performance level and provides the spacecraft designer with a methodology to select a pulsed plasma propulsion system to meet his mission requirements.
