Abstract:
To achieve accurate operating performance of electric propulsion system (EPS) and demonstrate its operating stability in orbit, flight tests of Chinese first xenon ion EPS used in space were carried out for the first time at the SJ-9A satellite from November 2012 to February 2014. The design scheme and primary performance index of the 40 mN/3000 s xenon ion EPS are introduced briefly in this paper. The in-orbit performance test contents, methods and results of the system are described emphatically. The achieved test results are analyzed. The conclusions of in-orbit test are brought out.
