Summary of Reported
Research :
This paper is
about development of KM-60 which is the electric propulsion orbit control subsystem
for geostationary satellite. Developing thrusters with newly feature such as
increased specific pulse and equipped with a xenon storage tank made of composites,
a small-sized xenon feed unit, PPU and dedicated software.
Strength of
reported Invention :
- - New
Featured were added for orbit control subsystem
- - Increasing
specific pulse until 28 %
- - Less power
for plasma thruster until 1 kW
- - Possible to
improve satellite efficiency
Weakness of reported Invention :
- - high
losses were explained by a wide scatter of masses in velocities and by the
local-temporal mismatching between the plasma density distribution and the
accelerating three-dimensional electromagnetic forces
- - high cost
at that time
