Under the NextSTEP program led by Aerojet Rocketdyne in collaboration with NASA Glenn Research Center, the University of Michigan, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the XR-100 100 kW Electric Propulsion system is being developed to Technology Readiness Level 5. As part of this program, the X3, a Nested Hall Thruster designed to operate at powers up to 200 kW, is being further developed through parallel modeling and experimental efforts with the ultimate goal of supporting a 100 kW-100 hr system test in the final year of the NextSTEP program. Recent developments for the X3 subsystem are presented including a summary of testing and modeling results and design updates in anticipation of a risk reduction test scheduled for the summer of 2018.
