 d Propulsion System:</strong> <span>Equipped with argon-fueled Hall-effect
  thrusters\, these satellites achieve a 2.4x increase in thrust and a 1.5x
  boost in impulse compared to earlier models.</span> <span>This advancemen
 t enhances maneuverability and operational lifespan.</span> ​</li>\n<li
