Popis: In order to maximize system mass and cost savings, a Hall Effect Thruster Direct Drive Approach shall ideally get away with the need to provide galvanic isolation for the Anode voltage. In this respect, we present some experimental data aiming at characterising the implications of a direct connection between the HET Cathode Return Potential and the Spacecraft Ground.
