Propulseur plasma utilisé sur de petits satellites. Il est composé de quatre bobines générant un champ magnétique de forme particulière à l’intérieur du propulseur. Le design de ce propulseur a été optimisé, permettant ainsi de réduire sa masse de 75% et d'allonger sa durée de vie à 15 ans (contre 10 ans initialement).
