 The capability of plasma drag small space debris accelerator is affected by many factors such as charging condition,input  gas content, the triggering process and so on. Through experiments the  prime accelerating condition of was captured. The maximum velocity in  different discharging energy is displayed in figure 1 and the utmost  velocity is 15-18km/s. During the accelerating process interaction  between particles and high pressure temperature and density plasma  result in the crush of the particles. The crush is related to the  discharging energy and the particle character.
