BHT-600
Overview
The BHT-600 is a mature propulsion system featuring high performance and compatibility with flight proven heritage components (cathodes, PPUs, and feed systems). The BHT-600 is especially well suited for ESPA-class spacecraft and offers high performance over long-life, as well as operation on xenon, iodine, or krypton propellants.
Available as a direct mount, with 1-axis gimballing, or 2-axis gimballing, the BHT-600 is perfect as primary propulsion. Gimballed assemblies provide attitude control for control wheel desaturation, reducing mass from having to carry a separate chemical attitude control system.
The BHT-600 has a long demonstrated lifetime and erosion modeling predicts a large portion of lifetime remaining for the thruster. This thruster has been extensively studied and modeled, and its design has proven to be extremely reliable and robust.
