A flight module will be designed and constructed that will lead to the construction of an electron gun suitable for rocket, space shuttle, and satellite flight. An electron gun module with a wide dynamic range in current, energy, and density will be constructed, capable of at least 100 milliamperes and above 10 kilovolts beam energy. A cathode will be designed to meet the above specifications and a module designed and constructed to meet the requirements of space flight. The tested module and a report summarizing the module capabilities including a performance projection for the complete electron gun will be delivered at the end of the contract period.
