Our first-ever episode aimed to answer the question "what is plasma?" Today, we go much deeper with Phase Four plasma physicist Derek Thompson as we tackle what "propellant agnosticism" means for the Phase Four RF thruster (RFT).

Dr. Thompson examines what allows the RFT to be propellant agnostic, and what makes a good propellant.

P4W4: What does "propellant agnosticism" mean?

Phase Four designs and manufactures simple electric propulsion engines for space. We explore the ins and outs (and ups and downs) of developing a revolutionary new engine for space exploration on "P4, What For?".
