Propulsion Systems

Propulsion systems are critical for space missions, as they enable the transportation of spacecraft and cargo to and from space.

Companies like NASA, the ESA, and private ventures are developing advanced propulsion systems for space applications. These technologies include:

1. Ion engines: These are electric propulsion systems that use ions to generate thrust.
2. Hall effect thrusters (HETs): These are electric propulsion systems that use a magnetic field to generate thrust.
3. Advanced ion engines: These are next-generation ion engines that offer improved specific impulse and efficiency.
