Development of High Current, Voltage and Temperature Cable Suitable for Electric Propulsion Company Axon Start TRL: 3 Target TRL : 5 Achieved TRL: 5 Start date: February 2008 End date: November 2011 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.
