NASA unveils electric mini-propellant for planetary exploration

This day gives us news that NASA has developed an electric propulsion system for small spacecraft on future planetary exploration missions.

This technology, called the NASA-H71M sub-kilowatt Hall-effect thruster, is already being prepared for use for another purpose: extending the life of spacecraft already in orbit. This emerging planetary class of small spacecraft will need to perform challenging propulsion maneuvers, such as reaching planetary escape velocities, orbit capture and more, that require velocity change capability (delta-v) far beyond typical commercial needs and current technology availability.
