Introduction
As today’s mN-thruster wiring is done with more than one wire, using a relay box which as a result is quite heavy,
thus limiting the power, the objective of this development is to get a cable with high radiation resistance for high
voltage and high temperature applications, suitable to feed electrical thrusters with power (including Hall Effect
Thrusters , Gridded Ion Engines)
Objectives
Development of a new generation of cables suitable for current and future applications to feed electric propulsion
thruster systems in spacecraft with electric power. Under this project the main objectives were to find and select
materials for the composition to produce a cable withstanding quite strong requirements for operating temperature,
radiation resistance, high voltage application and in variants to various current ratings (A); the cable construction
will also include ESD immunization.
