The research presented here represents the first efforts to operate and quantify the performance of a three-axis Hall effect thruster. This thruster is based on the Busek BHT-200 and used a novel construction with three orthogonal faces and a common magnetic core to reduce size and weight. Operating procedures for the thruster were developed and thrust and current density measurements were performed and compared with the baseline BHT-200. The three-axis ...
