Abstract

Abstract: A study was conducted to design and fabricate a light-weight Hall thruster with all key discharge parameters. Hall thrusters are firmly used as the primary electric propulsion in the current field of space propulsion. The concepts of electric and magnetic fields are studied to improve the thrust and specific impulse of the light-weight Hall thruster. This model is intended to work within a range for certain near-Earth missions. The Hall thruster is designed in CAD software with all the required parts, dimensions and the materials that had to be used for its light weight consideration. The compact Hall thruster’s key discharge parameters are discussed and designed accordingly in order to produce a higher thrust-to-power ratio.
