Electric thrusters

Electric thrusters are advanced propulsion systems used in spacecraft to generate thrust by using electricity, typically from solar panels or nuclear power. Unlike conventional rockets that burn fuel, electric thrusters expel ions or plasma at high speeds, allowing for efficient and steady acceleration. This technology enables spacecraft to travel longer distances with less fuel, making it ideal for missions to distant planets or for maintaining satellites in orbit. Their unique capabilities offer significant advantages in space exploration and satellite operations, paving the way for more ambitious missions in the future.
