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) : the Russian SPT-100 from Fakel and the PPS-1350 developed and qualified by Snecma. Based on the experience acquired with this first program, Alcatel ETCA has started the design and development activities of a new PPU product sized to drive the 5 kW class thrusters which are at the present time in progress of test or qualification. This new product, candidate for Electric Propulsion of the Alphabus platform, can be easily adapted to other platforms in terms of electrical interfaces: primary input bus and telecommand-telemetry communication interface. The flexibility of the design allows to build, quickly with minimum non recurring activities, a PPU perfectly sized to drive any type of Hall Effect Thruster in the range from 1 to 10 kW.
