The ion engine is the best electric propulsion system available for spacecraft so far. It's the engine which can produce the best electric power to thrust conversion rate. It also has the highest specific impulse, of about 3000secs (around 30,000 km/s or 18,600 mph) and the longest operational lifetime. It surp... |
