Test data taken with nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia propellants are presented over a wide range of operating conditions at thrust levels up to 225 mN (50 mlb). The design adaptation of a flight-qualified thruster for operation with gaseous propellant inlet is described. Post-test analysis includes evaluation of thruster performance and efficiency, and shows the effects of propellant contamination on an immersed heating element.
