About
The BHT-100 builds on Busek’s experience with the BHT-200, using state-of-the-art magnetic shielding that focuses ions away from channel walls for a predicted lifetime of 10,000+ hours. Its efficient 75-125 W operating range fits the power envelope of small spacecraft. Busek offers a complete integrated system including cathode, power processing unit (PPU), digital control unit, and propellant management, and the thruster is compatible with both xenon and iodine propellant.
