Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 17, according to Lanzhou Institute of Space Technology and Physics, on October 13, 2022, the 300W class LHT-40 Hall electric propulsion system independently developed by Lanzhou Institute of Space Technology and Physics completed its first on-orbit test on the micro-space Beidou navigation enhancement constellation S5 satellite. The system works stably and the performance index fully meets the needs of users, which is a prelude to the application of domestic low-power Hall electric propulsion products in Beidou navigation tasks.

LHT-40 Hall electric propulsion system was launched and developed by Lanzhou Institute of Space Technology Physics in 2019 aiming at the current domestic application background of low rail pass, guidance, teleoperation, connection and other fields. CTOnews.com learned that LHT-40 Hall electric propulsion system has electric propulsion and air-conditioning dual propulsion mode, innovative use of thruster and propellant storage unit integrated structure, its power can be adjusted in the range of 100W to 300W, the overall advantages such as excellent performance, low cost, light weight, shelf, batch production and so on.

According to reports, Lanzhou Institute of Space Technology Physics is a supplier of electric propulsion products with the longest research history, the largest production scale and the most comprehensive coverage of aerospace electric propulsion technology in China. It is a domestic exclusive unit with international mainstream ion electric propulsion and Hall electric propulsion product development capabilities, with good technical strength, engineering experience and large-scale manufacturing capacity. Centering on the requirements of a variety of space propulsion missions, the Institute has always been up to the international advanced level. at present, it already has the production and support capacity of a series of Hall electric propulsion system products, with power coverage of 100 to 1300W and thrust coverage of 3~80mN, which can meet the needs of all kinds of commercial space propulsion missions.

The successful test of the LHT-40 Hall electric propulsion system on the micro-space S5 satellite lays a solid technical foundation for the subsequent implementation of the micro-space Beidou navigation enhanced constellation mission, and will make due contributions to the construction of national projects such as space-earth integrated communications, global low-orbit Internet and broadband Internet of things.
