Abstract:
A space vehicle engine (10) comprising a chemical thruster having a nozzle (30) for ejecting combustion gas, together with a Hall effect thruster. The engine is arranged in such a manner that the nozzle serves as the ejection channel for particles ejected by the Hall effect thruster when it is in operation. The engine can deliver high thrust with low specific impulse or relatively low thrust with large specific impulse.
