Difficult Plume Characterization
Spatial distributions of electron density, electron temperature, and plasma potential vary rapidly in vacuum plumes, while probe dimensions, materials, and RF coupling can distort measurements.

Typical Ground-Test Challenges
Under complex vacuum conditions and multi-source disturbances, ad-hoc test chains often struggle with efficiency and traceability.
Hard Micro-Thrust Calibration
mN/μN-level thrust measurement is highly sensitive to thermal drift, pump vibration, and cable torque effects, reducing repeatability across runs.
Long Integration Cycles
Positioning stages, DAQ hardware, and analysis algorithms often come from different vendors, creating interface and timing mismatches that slow down integration and regression.
