Abstract: Operations of a three-channel 100-kW class nested Hall thruster at total power levels from 5 to 102 kW and discharge currents from 16 to 247 A were successful. The thruster was operated in all seven available channel combinations at discharge voltages of 300, 400, and 500 V and at current densities that were 0.60 and 0.95 of the nominal value. Additional test points were also collected at 1.20 the nominal current density. The thruster was throttled through a total of forty-six unique operatin…
