A type of Hall effect thruster.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - plasma%20thruster

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

This plasma thruster relies on the "Hall effect" to accelerate xenon ions to speed up to 16,000 km/hour. It is able to deliver 70 mN of thrust with a specific impulse (the ratio between thrust and propellant consumption) 5 to 10 times better than traditional chemical thrusters and for mush longer durations (months or even years, compared to the few minutes' operating times typical of traditional chemical engines).  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - plasma%20thruster
