PPS®1350

Safran Spacecraft Propulsion

Stable operation over a wide power range: 500 to 2,500 W

Proven performance at extreme temperatures : from -45°C to +160°C

Reduced beam divergence: 40°

The PPS®1350 Hall Effet plasma thruster draws on Safran Spacecraft Propulsion’ long experience with electric propulsion. It is designed for orbital transfer, stationkeeping and deorbiting satellites and other spacecraft. In particular, the PPS 1350 was the primary engine on ESA’s lunar probe, Smart-1, launched in 2003 by an Ariane 5 rocket. This mission was completed in September 2006.
