Scientific paper

Alcatel ETCA, under ESA contract since 1996, has designed, tested and produced Power Processing Unit (PPU) to supply the first generation of Stationary Plasma Thrusters SPT-100 from Fakel and the PPS- 1350 from Snecma. Based on the experience in Electric Propulsion, Alcatel ETCA has started a collaboration with the gridded ion thruster manufacturer EADS-Space Transportation to design, develop and qualify the Power Supply and Control Unit (PSCU) to drive the RIT-22 thruster. This 5kW thruster, providing high specific impulse, is candidate for the Electrical Propulsion System of the Alphabus platform.
