Hall effect thrusters for small-sized spacecrafts

Pages
60-67

Abstract

The results of investigation tests and comparative analysis of various low-power Electric Propulsion (EP) designed for their application as a part of electric propulsion systems (EPS) for small-sized spacecrafts are presented. Based on the analysis of main parameters and characteristics, the most prospective scheme of the EP design has been selected.
