“…For example, the Psyche project conducted tests to show that the SPT-140 thruster had sufficient throttling capability and made minor modifications to the power processing unit to accommodate additional throttling. Lifetime at throttled conditions was addressed with modeling and testing [42]. As commercial electric propulsion systems evolve, the need for these adaptions for use in deep space will continue.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
