00:00That was a milestone that proved Hall thrusters were suitable for interplanetary flights.
00:06Or take a look at NASA's Psyche mission, which has been on its way to the asteroid Psyche since 2023.
00:13Here, SPT-140 thrusters with the specific imparts of 2000 seconds were used for precise maneuvers
00:23and they are robust enough for the brutal conditions of deep space.
00:27And then there's Starlink from SpaceX.
00:30By now thousands of satellites used such Hall thrusters for orbit adjustments.
00:35They keep the constellation stable and show how scalable these propulsion systems are in mass production.
00:43It's fascinating how something as compact as a Hall thruster can power entire fleets.
00:49Okay, but that sounds very similar to the ion thruster.
00:57This is the most part, it days a shower.
00:57Here it goes.
