Power and Propulsion Element

The Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) is a crucial part of a space mission, acting as the spacecraft’s engine and power source. It generates electricity to power systems and provides thrust to maneuver and position the spacecraft in orbit. Essentially, the PPE ensures the spacecraft has the energy needed for operation and movement in space. It’s like the engine and battery combined, enabling the vehicle to travel, stay in position, and support other modules or payloads during its mission.
