About
The PPU-500 provides efficient, reliable power management for Hall-effect thrusters. It consists of three subsystems: a thruster power module with stabilized anode/cathode outputs, a xenon feed system power module with low-voltage supplies for sensors, heaters, and valves, and a main controller that executes operating algorithms, manages converters and measurements, and communicates with the onboard computer for autonomous operation.
