EPS®X00
Hall Effect Thruster
The EPS®X00 propulsion system takes benefit of Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion to propose a very efficient product. EPS®X0 was designed to address the specific requirements inherent in the “New Space” market environment. With a lifespan exceeding 5,000 hours and very high specific impulse, the EPS®X0 is an extremely versatile propulsion system, making it ideal for all types of applications in its core market: low Earth orbit (LEO).
PPS®X00 FEATURES
WIDE POWER RANGE
400 to 1,000 W
FUEL COMPATIBILITY
Xenon (also compatible with Krypton)
HIGH TOTAL IPULSE & RELIABILITY LEVEL
VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE
The major advantages of the PPS®X00 are its high
life time capability for this power range and its
excellent thrust-to-electrical power ratio, which
enable reducing operating time or the number of
thrusters needed. Several innovations have been
incorporated in the discharge chamber and
magnetic circuit designs to propose competitive
and reliable solutions while keeping a high
performance level. It can be delivered as part of an
electric propulsion subsystem, including Power
Processing Unit and Propellant Management
