EP GEO Propulsion Platform
Article No.: 96, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
The paper describes the advantages of Electric Propulsion systems (EPS) in comparison to Chemical Propulsion Systems (CPS) in the new developed landscape of launchers. It also contains a deviation from the classical EPS and combines the EPS with CPS which has some advantages for niche markets.
The EPS described here is based on the RIT technology including a Radio Frequency Generator, neutralizer and the Power Processing Unit. The main focus is on the current stage of the performance of the currently developed system as well as a trade study on performance in terms of usage for geostationary platforms.

Design Methodology of a Hybrid Propulsion Driven Electric Powered Miniature Tailsitter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Contrary to the manned tailsitter aircraft concepts, which have been shelved and forgotten after mid 1960's, the unmanned versions of these concepts have become popular. Since, tailsitter type UAVs combine both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) ...
