Suitable for 30~100kg satellite platforms, used for satellite orbit raising, long-term phase maintenance, and deorbiting. The cathode can be selected as either lanthanum hexaboride or barium-tungsten. Utilizing a single-coil technology, the system is simple and reliable, especially suited for optical imaging and narrow-band communication satellites.
Technical Features:
1. High thrust and specific impulse with low power consumption.
2. Strong oxidation resistance and long life characteristics. The barium-tungsten cathode has lower power consumption, making it more suitable for low-power output satellite platforms.
3. The thruster is compact in structure and lightweight.
