Overview What Is An Ion Thruster How It Works Applications The Future

What Is An Ion Thruster Form of electric propulsion that creates thrust by accelerating ions Electrostatic – use Coulomb Force Electromagnetic – use Lorentz Force Currently Only Practical in Space

What Is An Ion Thruster Low Thrust, High Efficiency 0.5 N of Thrust 200,000 mph top speed 18,000 mph in Space Shuttle Low impulse = 90% efficiency 35% in Space Shuttle

How It Works

Applications Satellite Stabilization Deep Space I SMART I

The Future Prometheus Deep Space Human Exploration Nuclear Powered Ion Thrusters Deep Space Human Exploration

The Future TIE Fighters? Twin Ion Engine
