Thruster Design Optimization

Thruster design optimization involves refining a propulsion system to improve its performance—such as increasing efficiency, thrust, or durability—while minimizing costs and weight. Engineers use computer models and testing to iterate different designs, materials, and configurations to find the best balance of these factors. This process ensures the thruster performs reliably in its intended environment, whether for spacecraft, ships, or aircraft, by systematically adjusting variables to achieve optimal functionality and lifespan.
