About
The Xenon Flow Controller provides the required propellant flow rate to a Stationary Plasma Thruster with a nominal discharge power of 1350 W. It is responsible for distributing the propellant flow rate between the anode and cathode lines of the thruster. The controller consists of a flow regulator, which manages the total flow rate, and anode and cathode restrictors that ensure the precise distribution of the xenon propellant. The product was released in 1985 and has a guaranteed service life of 20 years. While it is not flight qualified, there is a possibility to adapt the product to customer requirements. The estimated production and delivery time is 9 months, not including the time for material procurement (4 months) and parts/components procurement (6 months).
