HALL EFFECT PLASMA THRUSTERS FOR SPACECRAFT ORBIT CORRECTIONS.
Hall-Effect Thruster (HET) is a type of ion thruster in which the propellant is accelerated by an electric field. The applications of Hall-effect thrusters include control of the orientation and position of orbiting satellites and used as a main propulsion engine for medium-size robotic space vehicles. It is proposed to develop this system for cubesat applications.
