Abstract: The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the process of motion of working fluid ions in the accelerating channel of a stationary plasma thruster SPD-70. The simulation was carried out on the basis of a direct numerical solution of the rarefied plasma kinetic equation in the accelerating electrostatic field.
