Safran DSI - PPS®X00 Hall Effect Thruster
The PPS®X00 plasma thruster (Hall effect) takes benefit of Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion to propose a very efficient product. PPS®X00 was designed to address the specific requirements inherent in the “New Space” market environment. With a lifespan exceeding 5,000 hours and very high specific impulse, the PPS®X00 is an extremely versatile thruster, making it ideal for all types of applications in its core market: low Earth orbit (LEO).
VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE
The major advantages of the PPS®X00 are its high life time capability for this power range and its excellent thrust-to-electrical power ratio, which enable reducing operating time or the number of thrusters needed. Several innovations have been incorporated in the discharge chamber and magnetic circuit designs to propose competitive and reliable solutions while keeping a high performance level. It can be delivered as part of an electric propulsion subsystem, including Power Processing Unit and Propellant Management System

More Product Information
The CORTEX RSR-RF (-40 or -200) stands as a digital recorder that plays a vital role in capturing and reproducing the RF analog signal received by the antenna before any processing occurs.
It’s an essential component in a Telemetry Station, ensuring the utmost availability of crucial data, particularly in cases where on-board recording is not feasible.
Data collected in-flight offers extensive post-processing flexibility. You can fine-tune various settings in the receiver, the bit synchronizer, and the decommutator to maximize the extraction of data, a feat achievable only with RF recording. Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable tool for test range qualification ahead of test flights.
Sensors acquisition and recording for troubleshooting is a cumbersome process in a fully furnished or operational aircraft, especially when time and low footprint are key drivers.
This is no more the case with Safran new solution µMA:
- its cylindrical form factor allows easy installation by just requiring a standard clamp used to mount tubes
- its battery power supply and its wireless connectivity removes the need of installing any harness in the aircraft.
All these capabilities are available while providing high measuring performance and harsh environment ruggedized in line with Safran standard solutions.
Safran Ground Station is a turnkey ground segment solution with all required equipment and ground tools to proceed with removable media preparation and post-mission data retrieval and replay.
Key components are:
- Rugged Heavy duty Laptop PC for military environment
- RMM (Removable Memory Module) Docking Stations capable of reading up to 4 cartridges simultaneously, especially useful for mass debriefing.
- Ground software suite (RMM Manager, eZ Viewer, MUST), very intuitive and user-friendly interface, for replay and exploitation of data while allowing customizable configuration of the display for mission debriefing.
- Ruggedized Trolley Suitcase specifically adapted for the transport of the whole Ground Station.
This ground station, tested and approved by Safran before delivery, helps to accelerate the deployment on every integration Labs, Air Bases, and can be safely transported between different locations and environments
TM MAESTRO provides a comprehensive and centralized solution for monitoring and controlling telemetry infrastructure worldwide.
Designed to meet the critical needs of telemetry operators, this software offers a user-configurable GUI that adapts to various user profiles and mission phases, from preparation to live flight tests and station maintenance. TM MAESTRO is scalable and easily accommodates new telemetry equipment, allowing for the addition of an unlimited number of components, from antennas to decommutators, making it a highly flexible system.
The RMM Manager utility software offers convenient, user-friendly pre-mission or post-mission access to SC1450-series Removable Memory Modules (RMM) for use with VS-Series video & data recorder/server, in PC/Windows® environment.
The RTR-X4 is one of the most advanced digital telemetry receivers on the market with its well-recognized RF performance and signal processing capability.
The 4U chassis-based RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing flexibility and capability as well as a rich set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats.
Not only does the CORTEX RTR provide an extensive set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats, but the user can easily upgrade the equipment in the field to access additional and new features. The RTR-X4 is an excellent fit for flight test ranges, offering full flexibility and easy access to settings through its user-friendly GUI on the embedded 8.4-inch screen.
The D19-GT/-GTS Download Station ensures a secure and high-speed data download (via 40 Gbit Ethernet) from MDR or MDR-GT/-GTS storage media. Specifically designed for flight testing applications with demanding data rates and storage needs, the D19-GTS, when paired with MDR-GTS, incorporates advanced cybersecurity features like Data-At-Rest (DAR) protection and firmware updates. Configuration changes are facilitated through a Removable Secure Operational Disk (RSOD).
