About
The TRINITY HET is the Hall effect thruster of Blue Orbit Space Systems’ TRINITY series, a solution designed for small satellites.
It runs on argon or nitrogen propellant and delivers under 100 mN of thrust at up to 1100 seconds specific impulse, with a total impulse below 1500 kN-s over a life of up to 3000 hours and 5000 on/off cycles. The unit is rated from LEO to GEO altitudes.
The quoted mass of 2.5 kg includes both the thruster and the cathode.
