Abstract :
A new use for the white-hot, electrically charged streams of gases known as plasmas — as steering systems to stabilize and control the attitude of long-lived earth satellites — has been suggested as the result of tests at the Westinghouse Research Laboratories. These plasma jets previously have been utilized for tasks such as cutting and welding and in scientific studies such as MHD power generation and hydrogen fusion.
