SETS Hall Effect thrusters have, again, gotten NASA recognition. Their ST-25 and ST-40 thrusters were listed in the agency's latest ‘State-of-the-Art Small Spacecraft Technology report’.

ST-25 – the most compact Hall thruster by SETS. Its specifications: input power (W) 100-200; thrust (mN) 5-14; specific impulse (s) 1,000-1,500; efficiency (%) 38.

ST-40 Hall Thruster was designed for use as part of the propulsion system for Leo-Geo satellites, and the new ways of mass manufacturing make it a perfect low-cost solution for constellations of small satellites.

With the ST-40 thruster, small private operators or satellite developers can utilise the same high-performance systems as government agencies with appropriate commercial-sized budgets. Its specifications: input power (W) 250-600; thrust (mN) 15-34; specific impulse (s) 1,300-1,750; efficiency (%) 50.

This is the 4th time our company’s products have been included in this list.
