| Description | Two thruster sizes are studied. One, a small 5-cm or 8-cm size is for spacecraft station keeping. The other, 30-cm (130 mN thrust), is for a thruster array to do primary solar electric propulsion. A 5-cm thruster (1.8 mN) has recently completed 9715 hr of life testing. Use of dished grids in the 30-cm thruster has increased beam current from 2 to 5 A. The total thrust system mass is compared for present small thrusters at different operating conditions for station keeping of synchronous satellites. |
