Three interplanetary technologies, whose mathematical foundations have been known for a century or more, are now starting to be applied. They aresolar electric propulsion, weak stability boundary flight paths, and solar sailing. All may supplement or supplant chemicalspacecraft propulsionwith much increa...
Hence, the electric propulsion type is not yet applicable to heavy spacecrafts as the main apogee engine because it cannot provide an enough thrust to maneuver in space. Instead, it has been used rather for station keeping thrusters for large geostationary (GEO) satellites since 1980s [26]. ...
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. ...
