Safran DSI - EPS®5000 Hall-Thruster Satellite Propulsion
- Designed for Orbit-Topping and Station Keeping
- 40% Weight Saving Convention Propulsion
- Excellent Thrust-to-Electrical Power Ratio
Our Hall-Thruster Satellite Propulsion, EPS®5000, is purposely designed for “all-electric” satellites. It can operate in high-thrust or high specific impulse mode and offers an operating lifespan of about 20,000 hours. This means the EPS®5000 can handle orbital positioning and station-keeping duties for a wide range of telecom and navigation satellites, as well as exploration spacecraft. The EPS®5000 was fully qualified in 2021.
Very High Performance
The major advantage of our Hall-Thruster Satellite Propulsion, EPS®5000, is of course its very high specific impulse, which allows significant weight savings versus platforms using conventional chemical propulsion.
It also offers an excellent thrust – to-electrical power ratio, which enables reducing operating time or the number of thrusters needed. It can be delivered as part of an electric propulsion subsystem, including all thermal control functions.
