Benjamin Jorns, U-M associate professor of aerospace engineering led a new Hall thruster study that operated a Hall Plasma thruster at five times old power limits. His team challenged ran a 9 kilowatt ...

It was believed that Hall thrusters, an efficient kind of electric propulsion widely used in orbit, need to be large to produce a lot of thrust. Now, a new study suggests that smaller Hall thrusters ...

Helicon plasma propulsion is emerging as a promising branch of electric space propulsion, employing helicon waves to generate high‐density plasmas which are then accelerated through a magnetic nozzle.

Hall thrusters are an efficient kind of electric propulsion used in orbit, and they need to be large to produce a lot of thrust. Things are going to change with the new study from the University of ...

Denver and Colorado Springs, April 7, 2022 Orbit Fab and Neutron Star Systems (NSS) established a cooperative agreement for co-development of satellite refuelling solutions with green propellants. The ...

Alta of Italy has begun installing Europe's largest electric propulsion (EP) satellite thruster test chamber at Ospedaletto, near Pisa. The Impianto Prova Propulsori (IPP) will go into operation later ...
