XCRIT-7 RF Ion Propulsion System

Applicable for satellites weighing 100-200kg, suitable for orbit raising, long-term phase maintenance, and deorbiting. With a specific impulse above 3500s, it is twice that of similar Hall thrusters. For the same mission, it can save more than half of the propellant.
