  • Steerable hall effect thruster having plural independently controllable propellant injectors and a frustoconical exhaust outlet
    Patent number: 9494142
    Abstract: A steerable-thrust Hall effect thruster in which a final stage of a magnetic circuit includes an inner pole and a facing outer pole, the inner pole being offset axially downstream relative to the outer pole, so that a magnetic field is inclined relative to a transverse plane of the thruster.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2016
    Assignee: SNECMA
    Inventors: Frederic Raphael Jean Marchandise, Anthony Claude Bernard Lorand, Vanessa Marjorie Vial
  • Electric propulsion system with stationary plasma thrusters
    Patent number: 9476413
    Abstract: An electric propulsion system includes a first stationary plasma thruster including a single first cathode, a first anode, and a first gas manifold, and a second stationary plasma thruster including a single second cathode, a second anode, and a second gas manifold. The system further includes an electrical connection device common to the first and second cathodes, first and second gas flow rate control devices with a common fluid flow device for feeding gas, and a selective control device for activating at any given instant only one of the first and second cathodes in co-operation with one or the other of the first and second anodes.
