Advanced north-south stationkeeping (NSSK) requirements are moving towards the 50 mN thrust level and prohibit metal vapors as a propellant. To address these requirements, a prototype of the RIT 15, operated with xenon, was built. The RIT 15 prototype aims at the 20 to 40 mN thrust range at adequate efficiencies.
