A form of electric propulsion known as Hall thrusters — a type of ion thruster — may actually pack more bang for the buck than expected. Hall thrusters have conventionally been used to adjust the ...
At this point, the EM Drive will be important -- if not for revolutionizing space travel, then at least for dramatically illustrating the difficulty of taking accurate force measurements at extremely ...
You don’t see many ionic thrusters out in the world these days. The high-voltage devices are interesting pieces of technology, but they aren’t all that relevant to our normal lives. They’re gradually ...
A research team presents an AI assessor for Hall-effect ion thrusters, the engines of satellites and space probes. Hall thrusters, a key space technology for missions like SpaceX's Starlink ...
Today, we use ion thrusters to correct satellite orbits and visit asteroids. In 100 years, we might be using them to propel massive generation ships that send colonists to a different part of the ...
