This 4th Nuri launch is the first to be managed by the private company Hanwha Aerospace, which received technology transfer ...

Hall thrusters utilise electric propulsion through the ionisation and acceleration of plasma under crossed electric and magnetic fields, offering efficient and reliable performance for spacecraft.

Hall thrusters have high fuel efficiency, so they can greatly accelerate satellites or spacecraft using less propellant (fuel), and can generate large thrust relative to the power consumed. Based on ...

Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology in China have created a new inlet design for Cylindrical shaped Hall thrusters (CHTs) that may significantly increase the thrust and allows ...

The possibility of the controversial IVO Quantized Inertia drive on the Barry-1 satellite working has raised the question of could it be faked with a small Hall Effect Thruster ? I looked at the ...

ENPULSION, the market leader in small satellite propulsion, has launched the ENPULSION MICRO to cover the propulsion needs of heavier satellites which want to use the acclaimed FEEP technology ...

French Prime Minister Jean Castex, Frédérique Vidal, French research and innovation minister, and Bruno le Maire, French economy and finance minister, are shown holding the ExoMG Hall-effect thruster ...

Electric propulsion (EP) is the future of astronautics. It can already compete successfully with chemical thrusters, especially for attitude control, orbit transfer and/or orbital station-keeping as ...

Washington, D.C., Oct.27, 2015 - Hall thrusters are advanced electric rocket engines primarily used for station-keeping and attitude control of geosynchronous communication satellites and space probes ...
