The F4F project focuses on developing an alternative electric propulsion system for satellites using SITAEL’s HT5k thruster. This system aims to provide a reliable and efficient solution for space applications while minimizing regulatory constraints.
Electric Propulsion systems based on HET thrusters are now the de facto standard for more than half of the GEO telecommunications and MEO navigation satellites launched each year, with Fakel's SPT-140d model representing the solution until early 2022 baseline for nearly all LSIs worldwide.
This is due to its extreme reliability, the long heritage accumulated over the years, and the considerably lower selling price than the few existing competitors (Safran -France-, Aerojet and Busek -USA-).
