In 📆 2023, #SpaceX launched the first of its #Starlink V2 Mini satellites 🛰️. These next-generation spacecraft are equipped with #HallEffect thrusters, or #HETs, that operate on #argon, instead of the #krypton propellant on previous Starlinks https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/year-in-review/a-year-of-firsts-for-electric-propulsion
The essential working principle of the #HallThruster is that it uses an #electrostatic potential to accelerate #ions up to high speeds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall-effect_thruster#Principle_of_operation

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 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02269-7

An alternate form of #ElectricPropulsion, the Hall-effect thruster, was studied independently in the #UnitedStates and the #SovietUnion in the 📆 1950s and 📆 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster
