T60 ion thruster

A T60 ion thruster is a type of propulsion system used in spacecraft, designed to provide precise and efficient thrust. It works by ionizing xenon gas—removing electrons to create positively charged ions—and then accelerating these ions through electric fields to produce thrust. This process generates a continuous, gentle push, allowing spacecraft to navigate or stay in position with high efficiency over long periods. The T60 model is valued for its reliability, low fuel consumption, and suitability for deep-space missions where conserving resources and precise control are essential.
