Cathode-less ion engines are on the Hayabusa (MUSES-C: Asteroid Sample-return Spacecraft) asteroid explorer, and Kaufman-type engines are on the Engineering Test Satellite-8 (ETS-8: KIKU No.8) at present. A 5 kW-class Hall thruster and a 200 mN-class ion engine are under development. PPTs (Pulsed Plasma Thrusters) and laser micro-thrusters are prepared for the propulsion system of microsatellites. This paper reports the recent activities on electric propulsion conducted in Japanese universities, industries, and JAXA.
