PROPULSION Working in cooperation with NASA and the U.S. Air Force, Aerojet Rocketdyne has successfully transitioned three generations of electric propulsion devices into commercial exploration and national security applications. SYSTEMS TRANSITIONING ELECTRIC PROPULSION INTO BROAD COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS 13 kw AEPS Hall 5 kw Hall Thrusters 2 kw Arcjets 40 kw 10 kw 1 kw Electrothermal Thrusters 4 kw 2010 through today 2 kw 1990s through today 1980s through today ORBITAL TRANSFER & STATION KEEPING Electric propulsion is commonly used to keep communications satellites JOURNEY TO THE MOON AND MARS in their proper orbital locations. More recently, electric propulsion is frequently being used as an efficient means for major orbit transfers. Aerojet Rocketdyne and NASA are working together to Electric propulsion systems are ideal for travelling long distances with design and develop an advanced electric propulsion system significantly less propellant than conventional chemical propulsion systems. that will enable humans to go back to the Moon and on to Mars. Electric propulsion enables efficient transfer of cargo OPERATIONAL SATELLITIES WITH ELECTRIC PROPULSION and science payloads in advance of the arrival of crews. The electric propulsion systems being built are three times more powerful than current electric propulsion systems and 10 times more fuel efficient than comparable chemical systems. la0126 20 EP www.rocket.com April 2020.
