Overview

The PPS5000 plasma thruster is purpose-designed for “all-electric” satellites. It can operate in high-thrust or high specific impulse mode, and offers an operating lifespan of about 15,000 hours. This means it can handle orbital positioning and station keeping duties for a wide range of telecom and navigation satellites, as well as exploration spacecraft. The PPS 5000 was fully qualified in 2021.
