It was established experimentally that in the dielectric plasma conduit under the ECR discharge at the condition
of excitation of a standing ion-acoustic wave, a spatially localized plasma formation with high brightness is formed. On the basis of the
obtained results, we can conclude that there is a possibility of creation of compact sources of intense radiation, whose spectrum is determined
by the type of working gas or mixture of gases. These devices can be used as sources of intense flows of chemically-active particles and
a plasma source for the engine correction of the orbit of light spacecraft.
