Description
HT 5k Hall Effect Thruster (HET) has been designed to meet the requirements of modern communication and navigation satellites, performing propellant-saving LEO-GEO/LEO-MEO transfers as well as station keeping tasks on large geostationary platforms. Relying on Sitael’s heritage in HET technology, HT 5k is a high – efficient thruster with a magnetic system based on coils. Designed to be fed with Xenon, it can be effectively operated also with alternative propellants such as Kr maintaining excellent performance.
