advanced propulsion systems

Advanced propulsion systems refer to innovative technologies designed to move vehicles, especially in space or through the atmosphere, more efficiently and effectively than traditional systems. Examples include ion engines, which use electricity to accelerate ions for thrust, and nuclear thermal propulsion, which uses nuclear reactions to heat propellant. These systems aim to reduce fuel consumption, increase speed, and enable longer missions. By leveraging cutting-edge science, such as electromagnetic fields or advanced chemical reactions, they promise to enhance our capabilities in exploration, satellite deployment, and even potential interplanetary travel.
