Hall effect thrusters (HET)
Cutting edge propulsion system for spacecrafts.
Products
Thrusters represent the solution for a standard EP mission, namely to bring a spacecraft (S/C) to its operating point and stabilize the orbit along the lifetime, as well as to change the said operating point when necessary and perform de-orbiting maneuver to the disposal orbit.

- For HT-1000/XALT-1000 operating in nominal mode the magnet system may be integrated into discharge circuit.
- Thruster development status: engineering model.
- For HT-3000/XALT-3000 operating in nominal mode the magnet system may be integrated into discharge circuit.
- Thruster development status: laboratory model.
