.@SpaceX: Argon Hall thruster tech specs: - 170 mN thrust - 2500 s specific impulse - 50% total efficiency - 4.2 kW power - 2.1 kg mass - Center mounted cathode
.@SpaceX: Developed by SpaceX engineers, they have 2.4x the thrust and 1.5x the specific impulse of our first gen thrusters. This will also be the first time ever that argon Hall thrusters are operated in space
.@SpaceX: Among other enhancements, V2 minis are equipped with new argon Hall thrusters for on orbit maneuvering
.@SpaceX: This means Starlink can provide more bandwidth with increased reliability and connect millions of more people around the world with high-speed internet
.@SpaceX: V2 minis include key technologies—such as more powerful phased array antennas and the use of E-band for backhaul—which will allow Starlink to provide ~4x more capacity per satellite than earlier iterations
.@SpaceX: We call them "V2 Mini". They represent a step forward in Starlink capability
