  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
