  3. #ElectricPropulsion uses up to 90% less 📉 propellant than traditional, high-thrust chemical rockets. During tests, the #NASA JPL team achieved power levels of up to 120 kilowatts. That’s over 25 times 📈 the power of the thrusters on Psyche. The team aims to reach power levels between 500 kilowatts and 1 megawatt per thruster. A human 🧑‍🚀 mission to #Mars might need 2 to 4 megawatts of power, requiring multiple MPD thrusters jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-fires-u

  7. #GeneralGalactic’s water 💧 propulsion system could provide 5-10 times the Delta-V of traditional systems. For #chemical propulsion, it will use electrolysis to split water, then burn the hydrogen with oxygen as the oxidizer. For #electrical propulsion, it will split water and then apply sufficient electrical energy 🔋 to convert the oxygen into plasma. It will then use a #magnetic field to guide the plasma out of a thruster interestingengineering.com/spa

  10. Liquid and solid propellant 🔥 #rocket engines feature low mass efficiency due to the thermodynamic limitations and extremely low efficiency at small thrust. The electric 🔋 thrusters do not pose limits on the propellant exhaust velocity and the propellant mass consumption may be very low nature.com/articles/s41467-017
