The artificial neural network ensemble model operates as a digital twin model that can predict thruster performance ...

A separate cathode then discharges low-energy electrons into the exhaust stream of the thruster to ensure the spacecraft doesn’t end up with a net negative charge. Hall Effect thrusters replace ...

And Hall-effect thrusters can provide similar force at a lower specific impulse but may need hundreds of times the power. “This enables some high Delta V missions to be performed that wouldn ...

A technology to predict and control an electrically powered thruster's functions using artificial technology (AI) has been developed by Korean researchers, and will be tested on a satellite this year.
