The paper presents the results of experimental study of a laboratory gridded ion thruster during its operation on a pulsed inductive radio-frequency discharge and various working gases: argon, oxygen and nitrogen. It is shown that the use of such a discharge leads to an increase in the extracted ion current compared to that in continuous operation modes. Keywords: ion thruster, radio-frequency discharge, pulsed discharge.
