• Abstract: Hall thrusters need control systems for some of their subsystems to ensure their complete opera- tion. However, at least in the last fifteen years, few papers can be found on this topic. This work presents a review of applications of control systems in Hall thruster subsystems. In this scenary, articles from the period 2008 to 2022 were searched in a database, and the applications were iden- tified and analyzed. In this case, a synthesis was done to bring together the different applications and considering the main bibliometric data that can be extracted. Therefore, this work presents trends in the area and offers a synthesis that has high potential to be useful for future research.
