“…These difficulties could be mitigated by extending the benefits of electric propulsion to this class of satellites, increasing their utility to research, industrial, and governmental communities. The study of more efficient and durable low-power Hall thruster concepts is an active area of research in many countries [1][2][3][4][5] . This is motivated by the operational heritage of Hall thrusters in space, with proven efficiencies and lifetimes greater than 50% and 7000 h, respectively [6,7] .…”
