Abstract :
At the present time, modern spacecraft have an onboard orbit raising thrusters system (ORTS). Many ORTSs contain electrojet plasma thrusters. The power processing unit is an obligatory part of any ORTS. It ensures the required electropower modes to all stationary plasma thruster elements. Here, the author presents a method for the performance analysis of spacecraft electrojet plasma thruster power processing units
