  2. #ARRM The #Asteroid β˜„οΈ Redirect Mission was intended to develop a #robotic #spacecraft to visit a large #NEA and collect a multi-ton boulder ⛰️ from its surface. It would then redirect the boulder into orbit around the #moon πŸŒ™, where #astronauts πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€ would have explored it and returned to #Earth with samples. #WhiteHouse #SpacePolicy Directive 1, issued πŸ“† Dec. 11, 2017*, ended the mission. But many of the central #technologies in development for that mission, such as #SolarElectric β˜€οΈβš‘ #propulsion, will continue jpl.nasa.gov/missions/asteroid

  7. The #Psyche #spacecraft travels using #SolarElectric (low-thrust) #propulsion. Solar β˜€οΈ electric propulsion uses electricity from solar arrays to create electromagnetic fields to accelerate and expel charged atoms βš›οΈ (#ions) of #xenon to create a very low thrust with a very efficient use of #propellant β›½. This will be the first use of a #HallEffectThruster beyond lunar orbit.
