This work presents a summary of the detailed characterization testof the 12.5 kW Advanced Electric Propulsion System Engineering Test Unit 2 (AEPS ETU-2) thruster produced by Aerojet Rocketdyne. This test campaign had two major goals: to assessthe risk of design compliance with thruster requirements and providea comparison to the previously-tested NASA Hall Effect Rocket with Magnet Shielding Technology Demonstration Units (HERMeS TDUs) from which the AEPS ETU design was derived.
