ABSTRACT: Results of development and experimental tests of Hall thruster ST-25 are presented. With the purpose of decrease of input electric power in the magnetic system of the thruster a permanent magnet is applied. The permanent magnet is located at the base of the central magnetic core. The permanent magnet provides most of the magnetic…

ABSTRACT: The Xenon Feed System is an essential part of any electric propulsion system. The life cycle of the feed system is largely determined by lifetime of the valves and the amount of working substance in tank. Whereas the amount of working substance is selected based on the requirements for each specific mission valve parameters…

Summary There is now a growing need for broadband Internet access. The majority of subscribers are served through terrestrial (cable) or mobile networks; however, the deployment of terrestrial networks is not economically feasible for remote or sparsely populated areas. Broadband satellite communications are the only available solution for such areas. The main advantage of satellite…

The structure of electric propulsion systems based on Hall thrusters includes an energy processing and control unit (PPU) that converts the electrical energy of an onboard power supply into the voltages and currents needed to operate of all the propulsion system subsystems. One of the main secondary power supplies of PPU is the discharge power…

In this article, the electric propulsion system SPS-25, designed by Space Electric Thruster Systems (SETS) is presented. The system has 150 – 250W input power, and consists of Hall thruster ST-25; Xenon storage and feed system (XFS) and Power processing unit (PPU). At the referenced input power (150 – 250W) ST-25 provides a thrust 5…
