About
The Busek BHT-1500 is a 2kW-class Hall Effect thruster with an innovative center-mounted cathode. A two-piece composite anode and shortened dielectric channel deliver improved performance, reduced sensitivity to cathode flow rate, and more efficient cathode-plume coupling. Offers class-leading efficiency over a wide range of throttle points, suitable for orbit-raising and station-keeping on small to medium class satellites.
