The Hall Micro Thrusters (HMTs) use cold gas or accelerated plasma dual mode to provide ultra-precise spacecraft altitude control. They were operated in space for the first time as part of the ...

[Vienna, Austria] — [May 27, 2025] — Enpulsion, a global leader in electric propulsion systems for small satellites, announces the launch of Nexus, its most advanced propulsion system to date ...

ABSTRACT In this study, the numerical simulations are used to simulate the discharge process of a 10-cm dual-stage 4-grid (DS4G) radiofrequency (RF) ion thruster, and the effects of RF coil turns, and ...

Hall thrusters, a key space technology for missions like SpaceX's Starlink constellation and NASA's Psyche asteroid mission, are high-efficiency electric propulsion devices using plasma technology ...

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 ...

KAIST researchers will validate the performance of the Hall thruster, developed using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for cube satellites, during the Nuri rocket's fourth launch scheduled ...

A low-power Hall-effect thruster of 150 W used to position ultra-small and small satellites is seen being operated. A device to better control these has been developed by a research team led by Korea ...

A technology to predict and control an electrically powered thruster's functions using artificial technology (AI) has been developed by Korean researchers, and will be tested on a satellite this year.
