Tentatively the optimal parameter range for this new thruster will be ISP (specific impulse) from 2000 to 50 000 s, power from 0.1 to 10 MW and thrust from 1 to 100 N. It would thus occupy a ...

BEIJING — A unique thruster mounted on a recently launched satellite has given China’s space programme an edge over international rivals and opened a door to deep-space exploration.

State media says new-generation propulsion device will improve the mobility and lifespan of China’s space assets, adds that Hall-effect thruster has already been delivered to Chinese customers ...

A cylindrical Hall thruster (CHT) is a type of Hall thruster designed for low power operations. Unlike conventional annular Hall thrusters, the CHT has a smaller surface-to-volume ratio that makes it ...

The thruster is mounted directly to a PCB containing the high-voltage supplies and control electronics to interface with the PocketQube’s systems.
