About
The Multichannel Electric Thruster is engineered for high-power propulsion systems of spacecraft. It is designed to provide thrust up to 600 mN with a power consumption ranging from 5 to 10 kW. The thruster boasts a high specific impulse between 1500 and 4000 seconds, making it suitable for efficient orbital maneuvers and station-keeping. With a mass of 12 kg, it is intended for long-duration missions, featuring a designed service life of over 10,000 hours and a guaranteed service life of 15 years for Geostationary Orbit (GSO) applications. Although currently a laboratory model with no flight qualification, the product can be adapted to meet specific customer requirements.
