FIELD: plasma accelerators; low- thrust ion engines for spacecraft. SUBSTANCE: accelerated electron beam is introduced in accelerator ionization chamber filled with gaseous propellant. Beam is conveyed over ionization chamber in the form of focused beam to decelerating electric field, mentioned decelerating field being used at the same time as accelerating field for propellant ions produced in the course of ionization. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of focused beam of primarily neutral plasma produced by device. 18 cl, 3 dwg
