Subsystems
ST-40 Hall-Effect Thruster
The ST-40 Hall-Thruster was designed for use as part of the propulsion system for Leo-Geo satellites, and the new ways of mass manufacturing make it a perfect low-cost solution for constellations of small satellites. With the ST-40 thruster, the small private operators or satellites developers can utilize the same high-performance systems as government agencies with appropriate commercial-sized budgets. With multi-propellant capability, ST-40 can be used in various satellite missions with thrust and specific impulse flexibility.

XFS
The Xenon Feed System (XFS) is designed for working in the structure of Electric Propulsion Systems (EPS) with the Hall-effect thruster(s). XFS fulfills two main tasks: decreasing the high pressure to the working pressure and feed the required values of the mass flow rates into electrical propulsion thrusters.
Most of the components (solenoid valves, accumulator tank, flow restrictors, fill and drain valve etc.) are designed and manufactured in-house, which shortens the time of production and allows adapting the feed system to the required parameters.
