00:00There are plenty of examples of Hall Effect thrusters and they show how versatile this
00:05technology is, from small satellites to large missions. Take ESA's Smart One,
00:12which was in operation from 2003 to 2006. Its PPS1350 engine brought the probe to the moon,
00:21ran for 1650 hours and used only 82 kg of xenon for a delta-v of 3.9 km per
00:31second.
00:32That was a milestone that proved Hall Thrusters are suitable for interplanetary flights.
