About
The Xenon Flow Controller is engineered to provide the precise propellant flow rate required for a Low Power Stationary Plasma Thruster with a 70 mm diameter accelerating channel. It also efficiently distributes the propellant flow rate between the anode and cathode lines of the thruster. The system consists of a flow regulator responsible for controlling the total flow rate, along with anode and cathode restrictors that ensure the necessary distribution of the xenon propellant. This product is flight qualified and can be adapted to meet specific customer requirements. The estimated production and delivery time is 9 months, not including the time needed for material procurement (4 months) and component procurement (6 months).
