X3 (thruster)

The X3 thruster is an advanced propulsion system designed for spacecraft, combining ion and chemical propulsion to achieve efficient movement. It uses ionized particles (ions) expelled at high speeds to generate thrust, providing precise and sustained propulsion with lower fuel consumption compared to traditional engines. The "X3" likely refers to a specific model or configuration optimized for space missions, enabling faster travel, improved maneuverability, and efficient station-keeping. It's a key technology for future spacecraft aiming for long-duration missions and deep-space exploration, offering both high efficiency and controllability in space environments.
