    Abstract
  • The gas-dynamic-mirror based fusion concept was expanded into space propulsion applications to analyze the range of specific impulse and thrust under different plasma density and hydrogen propellant mass flow rates.The theoretical calculation showed that the highest specific impulse can be above 10 000 s，and thrust up to dozens of Newton.On this basis，the fusion thruster based on the gas dynamic mirror was further used to simulate the Mars exploration mission.Assuming the initial mass of the thruster was 100 t，the simulation results showed that the residual mass increased from 88.59 to 98.24 t when the mission flight time varied from 282.42 to 639.76 d.The analysis showed that the fusion space thruster based on the gas dynamic mirror can well meet the requirements of future manned and cargo Mars missions by adjusting the specific impulse and thrust，making it an option for the development of high-performance space thrusters in the future.
