Electric Propulsion for Solar System Exploration
The use of ion propulsion for deep-space missions will become a reality in 1998 with the ight of the ion-propelled, New Millennium Deep Space 1 (DS1) spacecraft. The anticipation of this event is stimulating the call for improved ion propulsion technologies, a trend that is expected to continue. This paper describes the evaluation of possible advanced solar electric propulsion technologies an...
متن کاملDevelopment of Hollow Cathodes for Space Electric Propulsion at Sitael
Hollow cathodes are electron sources used for the gas ionization and the beam neutralization in both ion and Hall effect thrusters (HETs). A reduction of power and propellant consumption from the cathode is particularly needed in small satellite applications, where power and mass budgets are inherently limited. Concurrently, the interest in high-power HETs is increasingly fostered for a number ...
متن کاملAdvanced Hall Electric Propulsion for Future In - Space Transportation
The Hall thruster is an electric propulsion device used for multiple in-space applications including orbit raising, on-orbit maneuvers, and de-orbit functions. These in-space propulsion functions are currently performed by toxic hydrazine monopropellant or hydrazine derivative/nitrogen tetroxide bi-propellant thrusters. The Hall thruster operates nominally in the 1500 s specific impulse regime....
