new research, led by Michael Keidar, the A. James Clark Professor of Engineering at the George Washington University, demonstrates an important breakthrough in satellite propulsion that suggests a way to use electric engines in different modalities. ...
Nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) with large quantities of power have been theorized for such missions with many advantages over traditional solar panels and radioisotope power sources. Key among NEP issues has been the power conversion system, often falling upon dynamic cycles over solid-state ...

Electric propulsions are currently mainly used for the satellite orbit correction and stationkeeping, as well as for the satellite attitude control. Comparing to the chemical jet engines, main EP advantage is in high specific thrust pulses (I sp ). Besides, EP's make it possible to realize ...
“The propellant expelled by a NEP system can be an inert gas, such as xenon or krypton, but iodine, lithium or hydrogen can be options depending on the type of electric thruster,” says Lindsay Kaldon, project manager of fission surface power at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. As the ...
with the right power supply, a future spacecraft using our new engine design wouldn't just reach the Moon, it would be able to leave the Solar System entirely," says Dr Roger Walker of ESA's Advanced Concepts Team, Research Fellow in Advanced Propulsion and Technical Manager of the project...
SC flight is realized with the use of electric propulsion system (EPS) energized from nuclear power system (NPS). When using the Angara-5 LV and EPS with a power consumption of 100 kW and specific impulse of 4500 s at all stages of the flight, the delivery of the SC with its mass ...
