About the subject

IFPiLM’s activity focuses on nuclear synthesis in the aspect of power ge-neration. The scope of research (in cooperation with leading entities from other countries) includes methods of creating, physical properties and gover-ning processes of inertially confined laser plasma and magnetically confined thermonuclear plasma. Another important avenue of research carried out in IFPiLM, based on the experience of group from IPPT PAN in cooperation with the French CNRS, is the study of plasma propulsion for satellites. Prototy-pes of such devices (Hall Thrusters and Pulsed Plasma Thrusters) made in IFPiLM are studied in Plasma Nudge for Satellites Laboratory, created from ground up in recent years, and were also measured in Propulsion Laboratory of the European Space Agency.
