CAPABILITY AND BENEFIT OF THE LIPS-200 SYSTEM FOR NSSK MISSION OF GEO SATELLITES

propulsion system of LIPS-200 has been developed by Lanzhou Institude of Physics.Its capability and benefit of the LIPS-200 for NSSK mission of GEO satellites were analyzed within considering of major factorss,uch as mass and service life of a satellite,system configuration and net weight of the ion electric propulsion LIPS-200,and the performance of ion thrusters of LIPS-200.Some methods and examples of case calculations are presented in details,and it is concluded that capability of the LIPS-200 can meet requirements of china’s all GEO satellites NSSK mission.
