本文概述了 CNES 电力推进活动。描述了现有和未来的主要项目。电力推进的应用领域包括对地静止通信卫星（STENTOR）的定位保持、特定微型卫星（显微镜）的精细姿态控制以及火星样本返回等行星际飞行器的传输。描述了未来的准备以及相关的研究和技术计划。未来的发展主要致力于使用电力推进来提高电信卫星的轨道，这导致了推力比现有推力更高的推进器的开发。还开展了开发和改进评估电动推进器羽流效应所需工具的工作。支持霍尔推进器开发的科学活动正在东德（Groupement de Recherche）CNRS/CNES/SNECMA/ONERA 关于等离子体推进的框架内进行。
This paper presents an overview of the CNES electric propulsion activities. The main existing and future projects are described. The field of application of electric propulsion is the station keeping of geostationary telecommunication satellites (STENTOR), the fine attitude control for specific microsatellites (Microscope) and the transfer of interplanetary vehicles such as Mars Sample Return. The preparation of the future and the associated Research and Technology program are described. The future developments are mainly dedicated to the use of electric propulsion for the orbit raising of telecommunications satellites which leads to the development of thrusters with higher thrust than those existing today. Works are also performed to develop and improve the tools necessary to evaluate the plume effects of electric thrusters. The scientific activity supporting the development of Hall thrusters is going on in the frame of the GDR (Groupement de Recherche) CNRS/CNES/SNECMA/ONERA on Plasma Propulsion.
