#Psyche will slingshot past #Mars 🔴 on Friday. During the flyby, the spacecraft will capture thousands of images. Psyche should arrive in 2029. The spacecraft runs on solar #ElectricPropulsion, using xenon gas thrusters https://www.independent.co.uk/space/nasa-mars-psyche-aircraft-gravity-b2976589.html

#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 https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-fires-up-powerful-lithium-fed-thruster-for-trips-to-mars/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@europeanspaceflight/116306338879522880
2020, #ESA awarded #Airbus a €491 million contract to develop and deliver the Earth Return Orbiter. 2023, an independent #NASA review board report stated that the Mars Sample Return mission’s budget and schedule expectations were “unrealistic”. The #ElectricPropulsion system could potentially be reused.

#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 https://interestingengineering.com/space/satellite-using-water-powered-propulsion-system

Here’s a bunch of neat pictures of hardware for NASA Gateway, the lunar space station that is being built.
I worked on the electric thruster project for a few years and am now working on the Power and Propulsion Element (which uses three of those thrusters). #NASA #ElectricPropulsion

First flight thruster was delivered to GRC! Testing will start soon. I worked on the project to develop and deliver the thrusters for two years; now I work on the spacecraft that they are going on. The team has done some amazing work over the past several years!
