Question 11 of 21

How much power does it take to levitate, cool and run the system?

On Vega the bearings and cooling drew a few kilowatts in total. Pulsar's figure is being measured.

The full answer

The active magnetic bearings and the cooling system are the main loads. On Vega, all auxiliaries together drew a few kilowatts. Pulsar's figure will be measured during testing, and it is part of the round-trip number above.
