The Hall-Effect Rocket with Magnetic Shielding (HERMeS) thruster is being developed and tested at NASA GRC and NASA JPL through support of the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) as primary propulsion for the Asteroid Rendezvous and Redirect Mission (ARRM). This thruster is advancing the state of the art of hall-effect thrusters (HETs) and is intended to serve as a precursor to higher power systems for human interplanetary exploration. The HERMeS Thruster Demonstration Unit One (TDU-1) has entered a 2000-hour wear test campaign at NASA GRC and has completed the first three of four test segments totaling 728 hours of operation. This is the first test of a NASA-designed magnetically shielded thruster to extend beyond 300 hours of continuous operation.
