摘要

Stepper motor and gearbox combinations are helping to simulate the extreme conditions that ion thrusters will experience in next generation spacecraft. As a leading European player in Electric Propulsion (EP) design and development, QinetiQ manufactures ion thrusters which harness electrical energy to accelerate propellant to high velocity. Whilst the acceleration levels are small, when operating in space these devices propel and position spacecraft with extreme accuracy and with efficiency levels that are an order of magnitude better than with conventional liquid propulsion systems. QinetiQ's developments in this technology has opened the possibility to extend commercial satellite mission life and allow exploration spacecraft to venture further with enhanced payload capability, greater operational flexibility and reduced cost.
