NASA Plans Spacecraft Assembly in Orbit Using Autonomous RobotsBy John Adams NASA’s new spacecraft concept incorporates a nuclear-electric propulsion system to accelerate journeys to Mars.
The AEPS is a solar electric propulsion system that uses xenon as its propellant, much like existing ion engines. Where it differs is in the power output, which should allow it to work as the ...
Top-Level PPE Conceptual Ion Propulsion System (IPS) Block Diagram. (Credit: NASA) Originally designed since 2015 to propel the AARM mission to fetch rocks from an asteroid, when AARM was ...
Hollow cathodes are used as part of both Hall effect and gridded ion thrusters, which are some of the most common forms of electric propulsion in use today. The operation of hollow cathodes, despite ...
These systems are characterized by the propellant used and emission mode of the ion beam. The most common of these, field emission electric propulsion (FEEP), utilize liquid metals as its ion source ...
