BHT-100
Overview
The BHT-100 builds on our experience building small thrusters with the BHT-200. Designed with state of the art magnetic shielding that focuses ions away from the channel walls, the BHT-100 is predicted to have a lifetime of 10,000 hours or more.
Additional system and mission advantages are gained by fueling the long lifetime, low power Hall thruster with iodine instead of xenon. Testing with the BHT-200 and other Busek Hall thrusters indicates that thruster efficiency with iodine fuel is almost the same as with xenon fuel, while being a much more compact propellant. The BHT-100 paired with space-efficient iodine tanks is the perfect propulsion solution for CubeSats and small satellites.
