More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The United States Air Force’s Air Force Research Laboratory is supporting the development and ground demonstration of a 4.5 kW class Hall Effect Thruster propulsion system under the Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) program. Flight derivatives of this system will be applicable to orbit raising, station-keeping, and maneuvering applications. The High Performance Hall System (HPHS) program, a four-year effort begun in September 1997, is projected to meet the Phase I IHPRPT spacecraft goal of improving total impulse over wet mass by 20%. The jointly funded government/industry effort includes the qualification of a flight-like thruster and power processing unit, and an integrated system demonstration. The contractor team is lead by Atlantic Research Corporation and includes International Space Technology Incorporated Space Systems/Loral, and Engineering Design Bureau/Fakel
