重点分析讨论了微波等离子推进器（ＭＰＴ）的基本原理、结构特征和应用前景，并通过对已有理论与实验研究结果的分析，认为ＭＰＴ是一种高比冲、长寿命的小推力动力装置，特别适合用作空间动力，进行航天器的轨道转移、姿态控制、位置保持、对接交会和星际航行。尽管ＭＰＴ目前仍处于理论探索与实验研究阶段，但研究结果表明，它是前景十分诱人的新型空间动力系统。
The basic principle, structural characteristics and application prospect of microwave plasma thruster (MPT) are analyzed and discussed in detail. Based on the analysis of the existing theoretical and experimental research results, it is considered that MPT is a small thrust power device with high specific impulse and long life , Is particularly suitable for use as a space power for spacecraft orbital transfer, attitude control, position keeping, docking rendezvous and interstellar navigation. Although the MPT is still in the stage of theoretical exploration and experimental research, the results show that it is a promising new space power system.
