Electric Propulsion System Including Hall-Effect Thruster for IMECE Satellite

TÜBİTAK UZAY previously developed a space-qualified Electric Propulsion System (EPS). By means of experience and know-how which is obtained during 1.5 kW EPS development, 300 W EPS was developed and qualified for IMECE Project. FM EPS was manufactured and acceptance test campaign for EPS equipment was completed. 300 W EPS includes Hall Effect Thruster, Xenon Feeding Unit, Power Processing and Control Unit. This paper states qualification and acceptance tests of IMECE EPS equipment. Additionally, the paper describes the system level activities in terms of integration and testing of the electric propulsion system.
