Abstract
The plume-plume interaction of two small cold gas thrusters is investigated under high vacuum conditions in the DLR high vacuum plume test facility STG-CT. In this paper we concentrate on the interaction downstream of the nozzles. After introducing the experimental equipment, characteristics of shock interaction are presented. Furthermore the appropriateness of the Penetration Knudsen Number for predicting the type of interaction also for thruster plumes is investigated.
