The INVICTUS project aims to adapt the PPS®5000 thruster for satellite propulsion by replacing xenon with krypton, addressing cost and supply issues. It employs a delta-qualification method to expedite the certification process, enabling the thruster's use in future missions by 2026.
The current medium power PPS®5000 thruster unit which equips several satellites uses xenon as its propellant.
However due to a sharp rise in costs and an emerging shortage of xenon, significant impacts on the economics of certain future mission profiles such as those planned for the replacement of current geostationary (GEO) telecommunication satellites are expected.
It is thus necessary to seek alternative more abundant and cheaper propellant alternatives such as krypton.
However, today there i…
