Description
The objective is the maturation of a new generation of Hall Effect Thruster (HET), aiming at improving the core thrust performance of the electric propulsion chain for the future Galileo satellites. In particular, the activity will consolidate design and perform a coupling test of the thruster with a Power Processing Unit and a Flow Control Unit of the Electrical Propulsion chain, representative of G2 satellite. This activity belongs to Galileo/EGNOS Upstream R&D which is part of the space component of Horizon Europe, under which, in line with the signed FFPA and relevant Contribution Agreement, ESA is delegated by the European Commission to manage this activity. ESA adapted procurement rules will apply as per the ITT to be published (open Competition in 2 stages).
