The PPS 5000 from Safran Group is a Plasma Thruster that has a thrust of 150-300 mN. This spacecraft thruster has a mass of 12.3 Kg and a specific impulse of 1,730-2,000 sec. It has a power consumption of 2,500-5,000 W and requires a supply voltage of 300-400 V. The thruster has a very high specific impulse and offers an excellent thrust-to-electrical power ratio which makes it ideal for handling satellite orbit raising and station-keeping for a wide range of telecom and navigation satellite applications.
