Summary
The Rafael Ltd R-800 EPS is a Eelctric Propulsion system consisting of two R-800 Thruster, PPU, Propellant Tank, Propellant Feed System.
The Rafael Ltd R-800 thruster is a Hall-effect thruster (HET) suitable for low to medium mass satellite platforms (<1,000 kg). With Xenon as propellant, the system features a permanent magnet and center-mounted low current heaterless hallow cathode configuration resulting in a low volume and mass footprint and low power consumption. The gas distributor of the thruster also serves as the anode.
