ESA has already experienced the advantages of using electric propulsion (EP) technologies Earth Observation satellites (GOCE) and Telecommunication Satellites (ARTEMIS, Alphasat, Small GEO) and has already selected EP for future missions: Science Spacecraft BepiColombo for science; and NEOSAT and Electra for telecommunications. Spain GSTP GT17-134MP SENER INGENIERIA Y SISTEMAS SA 2018 - 2020 Improvements in Helicon Antenna Thruster RF-plasma discharge coupling for its evolution towards space application. Helicon Plasma Thruster For Space Missions The use of helicon sources as thrusters for space propulsion has been envisaged as a robust, scalable, reliable and long-life device. The Helicon Plasma Thruster (HPT) is presented as a potentially durable, throttlable and high thrust-to-power ratio device, with intermediate specific impulse and competitive thrust efficiency.
