The second-generation Miniature Arc jet Research Chamber (mARC II) at NASA Ames is undergoing integrated systems testing. Once fully operational, this facility will be added to the range of available test facilities operated by the NASA Ames Thermophysics Facilities Branch, with primary focus on applications such as new arc jet flow diagnostics and new arc column diagnostics. Initial characterization of the mARC II is reported here, specifically, measured arc current, arc voltage, column and chamber pressures, mass flow rates, and initial emission measurements carried out at a range of conditions.
