ENPULSION NANO R³

PPU Voltage:

28V

The ENPULSION NANO R³ is the next-generation FEEP system based on the flight-proven success story that is the ENPULSION NANO. Incorporation of lessons learned from a large number of acceptance test campaigns and in-orbit performance verifications led into an updated electronics design, thermostructural concept, and software functionality. The resulting product – the ENPULSION NANO R³ – features increased reliability, radiation tolerance, and environmental resilience.

LOT control

All EEE components of the ENPULSION NANO R³ are procured in lot-controlled batches. Selected sets of these batches are subjected to radiation testing, so that each thruster delivered to a customer can be traced back to a fully representative qualification model using components from the same batch. EEE components were selected and integrated to be more tolerant to TID and SEE.

FLIGHT HERITAGE

The ENPULSION NANO R³ is an updated version of the space proven ENPULSION NANO. It is directly building on its heritage, leveraging the proven design and component selection

PROTECTIVE CASING

The thruster is assembled into a protective casing that shields the electronics from the hazardous space radiation environment, facilitates handling during integration, and allows side mounting.

VERSATILE PERFORMANCE

Thrust can be controlled through the electrode voltages, providing excellent controllability over the full thrust range and a low thrust noise. Due to the efficient ionization process, the ENPULSION NANO R³ can provide a higher specific impulse than any other ion propulsion system currently on the market.

SAFE AND INERT SYSTEM

The ENPULSION Nano R³ contains no moving parts and the indium propellant is in its solid state at room temperature. This significantly simplifies handling, integration and launch procedures.
