Abstract:
With the continuing increment of solar array power, high specific impulse electric propulsion for deep-space primary propulsion was realized, and the application has been increased evidently. After two lunar explorations, the deep-space exploration will be an important part of Chinese space activities. Since the late 1990s, USA, Japan and Europe have launched four deep-space probes propelled by electric propulsion: Deep-space 1 Probe, HAYABUSA Asteroid Probe, SMART-1 Lunar Probe and DAWN Asteroid Probe. These activities significantly improved deep-space access capabilities, and a lot of scientific data were acquired. The requirements, application status, key technologies and development trends of the electric propulsion for deep-space exploration are analyzed for providing a reference for the development of Chinese deep-space propulsion technology.
