Hall Thrusters
Busek Co.
Busek develops leading edge electric propulsion thrusters to enable entirely new classes of spacecraft missions, balancing extraordinarily high specific impulse with excellent thrust-to-power for highly efficient electric propulsion.
About
Busek’s Hall thrusters are at the forefront of electric propulsion technology, designed to facilitate novel spacecraft missions. These thrusters are distinguished by their ability to balance exceptionally high specific impulse with excellent thrust-to-power ratios, resulting in a highly efficient electric propulsion system. The company possesses deep expertise in plasma physics and magnetic field design, which underpins the development of these advanced systems. Busek’s Hall-effect thrusters offer class-leading performance, a claim backed by decades of extensive flight and test experience. Their flight heritage began in 2006 with a 200W Hall thruster on TacSat-2, and since then, Busek has repeatedly flown hardware in space, demonstrating reliable design and best-in-class performance to provide maximum value to spacecraft.
