  • enough to generate 1lb of thrust (0.00445kN) and fulfil the critical role of giving the Space Station a periodic altitude boost.
  • the most powerful electric engine in operation toda
  • , NASA is contracting Ad Astra Rocket for a lunar tug concept study, to take cargo from the Earth to the Moon and back, and deliver equipment in preparation for a human landing

    As I mentioned it into my thesis, this engine bridges the gap between chemical and low-thrust propulsion systems. To be more specific: Isp should vary between 1000 and 30000s, and the thrust amplitude should reach up to 1200 N. It is interesting to see that the concept is actually moving forward ...
