Thrust vectoring is shown to increase the attractiveness of ion thrusters for satellite control applications. Incorporating beam deflection into ion thrusters makes it possible to achieve attitude control without adding any thrusters. Two beam vectoring systems are described that can provide up to 10-deg beam deflection in any azimuth. Both systems have been subjected to extended life tests on a 5-cm thruster which resulted in projected life times of from 7500 to 20,000 hours.
