MULTIPLE
CONFIGURATIONS
Busek has studied various
Hall Thruster configurations
including (from L:R)
circular, clustered,
racetrack and nested.
MULTIPLE
PROPELLANTS
Busek has used hall effect
thrusters to create plasmas
composed of various
elements / propellants
(shown at right). These
plasma sources are used
in studies of general
plasma properties as well
as space applications,
such as in-situ research
utilization for interplanetary
missions.

DATASHEETS
Hall Thrusters generate thrust by creating and accelerating ionized gas via magnetic and electrostatic fields. Busek is a leader in hall thruster
development, culminating in the flight of the first US-based hall thruster on TacSat-2 and recent launch of FalconSat-5. Busek has developed
numerous hall thrusters, each of which are capable of a range of power and thrust levels.
Busek produces a range of hall thrusters with power levels from 100 to 20,000W as shown below. See data sheets for a full range of low
power and high power hall effect thrusters.
