L3Harris Delivers AEPS Thrusters for NASA’s Lunar Gateway
L3Harris Technologies has delivered three Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) thrusters to NASA for final testing before integrating them into the Power and Propulsion Element of the lunar-orbiting Gateway station.
The AEPS will be a powerful electric propulsion capable of accelerating spacecraft to extremely high speeds over time using a fraction of the propellant required by conventional chemical propulsion systems. The system consists of three 12-kilowatt Hall thrusters.
The L3Harris thrusters will help deliver Gateway to its unique lunar orbit and maintain its position. Gateway is a habitable space station designed to orbit the Moon and serve as a staging point for astronaut and cargo missions to and from the lunar surface.
