About
The SPS-100 Propulsion System is an advanced electric propulsion solution tailored for medium and large satellites. It is capable of receiving power inputs ranging from 1000 W to 1750 W, making it suitable for a wide array of spacecraft applications. The system is designed to facilitate critical in-orbit operations such as orbit maintenance, complex orbital maneuvers, and demanding deep space missions. The SPS-100 is comprised of several key components: one or more ST-100 Hall-effect Thrusters, a comprehensive Xenon storage and feed system, and a Power Processing Unit (PPU). The ST-100 is a 1.5 kW class Hall-effect thruster, providing reliable and efficient propulsion. The Xenon storage and feed system (XFS) is responsible for decreasing high pressure to the operating pressure and precisely feeding the required mass flow rates into the electrical propulsion thrusters. The Power Processing Unit manages and delivers efficient and reliable power to the thrusters.
