SPACE / Propulsion / REVIEWED 2026-09-11
Provide electric propulsion for orbital maneuvers.
Hall thrusters are one class of electric propulsion, normally paired with a cathode, dedicated power electronics and gas-feed hardware. The list separates thruster-head manufacturers from suppliers selling complete propulsion systems and distinguishes current catalog data from development evidence.
These are sourcing candidates, not a confirmed Starlink supply chain.
Offers Hall propulsion products at several power scales, with propellant and lifetime capabilities tied to the selected product. Mini serves a different envelope from Nano or Micro. [1]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Manufactures Hall thrusters and offers propulsion-system integration with power processing and propellant management. Head-only metrics and the complete system have different electrical and mass boundaries. [3]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers stationary-plasma Hall thrusters including a small-satellite family and higher-power PPS products. Matching cathode, feed and power electronics are part of the procurement discussion. [4][5]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers Hall-thruster families with associated cathodes and power electronics. The publicly reviewed brochure establishes product scope but contains historical specifications and maturity statements. [6][7]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers an integrated Hall propulsion engine using xenon or krypton, with power and propellant subsystems. Thruster-string count and tank selection alter the complete-system configuration. [8][9]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers Aurora integrated Hall propulsion. Its recent corporate brief gives a system operating envelope; head-only figures and options require a separate configuration review. [10]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers Halo thruster products with associated power and feed components. Xenon and krypton envelopes differ, and larger-model maturity statements require current confirmation. [12][11]
Company location: United States
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Publishes company-authored ground-test results for its LeoBear Hall thruster development. This is a credible manufacturer lead, with commercial configuration and qualification requiring inquiry. [13]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers ARKA Hall products and reports an in-orbit ARKA demonstration. Its separate RUDRA product uses a different propulsion approach and is not included as a Hall variant. [14][15]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
Offers Hall thruster heads and matched propulsion systems with power and feed equipment. Product families provide a route from component purchasing to integrated propulsion procurement. [16][18][17]
Manufacturer inquiry is the apparent ordering route; confirm configuration, quotation and availability directly.
A company address is shown separately from a published factory location. Request the manufacturing site and lot traceability for the exact part when sourcing.
Clarify whether cathode, PPU, feed assembly, tank, harness and flight software are included.
Compare the same propellant and operating point; distinguish discharge power from complete-system bus power.
Compare matching throttle points and definitions, including cathode flow and PPU losses.
Separate demonstrated test impulse, predicted life and qualified mission capability.
Check xenon/krypton compatibility, required purity, tank pressure and usable residuals.
Review restart count, minimum firing duration, thermal soak and continuous operating limits.
Check plume impingement, erosion, contamination, magnetic field and thrust-vector alignment.
Match bus voltage, startup transients, PPU/cathode sequencing and spacecraft communications.
Verify flight heritage and qualification of the quoted configuration, not just the vendor or technology family.
Specifications belong to the named product and configuration.
The page lists xenon and krypton choices; it does not establish identical performance with each gas.
Published lifetime prediction and demonstrated impulse are deliberately kept separate.
A reference at a larger power scale; confirm the current sheet and exact supplied assembly.
The krypton total-impulse discrepancy is not resolved by this xenon-only example.
Manufacturer pages and technical documents support the linked claims. A review date is not a publication date or stock check.
