Busek BET-MAX

BET-MAX is Busek’s integrated electrospray propulsion system for precise spacecraft attitude and translational control. A shared power processing unit can operate several BET-300P thrusters, with propellant delivery integrated into the thruster modules. Busek lists precision pointing, formation flight and disturbance compensation as intended applications. BET-MAX names the complete system rather than an individual emitter or operating mode.
