Ion Propulsion Development Projects in US: Space Electric Rocket Test I to Deep Space 1
The historical background and characteristics of the experimental flights of ion propulsion systems and the major ground-based technology demonstrations are reviewed. The results of the first successful ion engine flight in 1964, Space Electric Rocket Test (SERT) I, which demonstrated ion beam neutralization, are discussed along with the extended operation of SERT II starting in 1970. These results together with the technologies employed on the early cesium engine flights, the applications technology satellite series, and the ground-test demonstrations, have provided the evolutionary path for the development of xenon ion thruster component technologies, control systems, and power circuit implementations. In the 1997-1999 period, the communication satellite flights using ion engine systems and the Deep Space 1 flight confirmed that these auxiliary and primary propulsion systems have advanced to a high level of flight readiness.

Experimental and analytical evaluation of ion thruster/spacecraft interactions
Studies were conducted to both identify the environment produced by ion thrusters and to assess the interaction of this environment on a typical spacecraft and typical science instruments. Spacecraft charging and the charge exchange that accompanies it is discussed in detail. Electromagnetic interference was characterized for ion engines. The electromagnetic compatibility of ion thrusters with spacecraft instruments was determined. The effects of ion thruster plumes on spacecraft were studied with particular emphasis on external surface currents.

Electromagnetic interference assessment of an ion drive electric propulsion system
An electric propulsion thrust system has the capability of providing a high specific impulse for long duration scientific missions in space. The EMI from the elements of an ion engine was characterized. The compatibility of ion drive electric propulsion systems with typical interplanetary spacecraft engineering was predicted.

(abstract) Evaluation and Development of Diamond Grids for Ion Optics
A research program is underway to establish the feasibility of fabricating 15 cm diameter ion engine optics from polycrystalline diamond film. Because of its high thermal conductivity, low CTE, and low sputter yield, diamond film has the potential of mitigating life limiting and performance degrading processes which have hindered flight qualification of ion thrusters to date. Results of experiments are reported.
