About
Integrated Thruster Unit (ITU) includes a high-precision thruster orientation mechanism (TOM) and two propulsion systems based on the stationary plasma thruster with a nominal discharge power of 1350 W. Each propulsion system consists of a thruster and a Xenon Flow Controller Unit, pneumatic connections between which are realized by means of stainless steel pipelines. Propellant – xenon. Manufacturing lead time is given without taking into account the time needed to procure materials (4 months) and procured parts and components (6 months).
