  1. Extended capability electric propulsion coming soon to a Satellite near you soon - thanks to China!

    China successfully demonstrated a new 750-newton Hall-effect thruster (electric propulsion) surpassing the performance of all comparable preceding systems.

    The engine powered Experiment Satellite 26A from its initial transfer orbit to geostationary orbit through five orbit-raising manoeuvres, firing for a cumulative 11,617 seconds (approximately 3.2 hours) during its maiden mission.

    The engine, which was designed to run for nearly 10 hours, operated continuously for more than 14 hours during testing.

    In contrast, the leading US-made R-42DM and Europe’s Leros-1B, are designed to operate for about seven hours. militarywatchmagazine.com/arti #Space #China #Satellite #ElectricPropulsion #ElecticEngine #Hall_Effect_Thrusters #EarthOrbit #SpaceCraft #GeostationaryOrbit

  29. RE: mastodon.social/@europeanspace

    2020, #ESA awarded #Airbus a €491 million contract to develop and deliver the Earth Return Orbiter. 2023, an independent #NASA review board report stated that the Mars Sample Return mission’s budget and schedule expectations were “unrealistic”. The #ElectricPropulsion system could potentially be reused.

  36. #GeneralGalactic’s water 💧 propulsion system could provide 5-10 times the Delta-V of traditional systems. For #chemical propulsion, it will use electrolysis to split water, then burn the hydrogen with oxygen as the oxidizer. For #electrical propulsion, it will split water and then apply sufficient electrical energy 🔋 to convert the oxygen into plasma. It will then use a #magnetic field to guide the plasma out of a thruster interestingengineering.com/spa
