The C02DGM detailed global model is used to characterize electric thrusters breathing CO2 . The latter are of interest to Mars and Venus artificial satellites and spacecraft propulsion in their vicinity C02DGM results are illustrated by diagrams giving the composition of the plasma components and ionization percentages containing isothermal, isobaric and isoenergetic curves which describe the thruster functioning for various regimes. The model incorporates data concerning detailed structure and reactions involving oxygen and carbon species and molecules composed from them, including their ions. Thus, spectral lines intensity of the main thruster constituents is obtained, allowing for optical emission spectroscopy diagnostics.
