These systems are characterized by the propellant used and emission mode of the ion beam. The most common of these, field emission electric propulsion (FEEP), utilize liquid metals as its ion source ...

Electric propulsion is a more efficient alternative ... Then a principle called the Hall effect generates an electric field that accelerates the ions and electrons and channels them into a ...

In this work, we collaborate with colleagues conducting experiments on electric propulsion thrusters in academia, in government laboratories (AFRL, NASA), and in industry. Ubiquitous in the field of ...

A central goal of DLR Lampoldshausen is to bundle all competencies in the field of rocket propulsion turbopumps in order to conduct targeted and effective research. Continue reading The overarching ...

Rosatom’s propulsion system uses a magnetic plasma ... The interaction between the electric current and the generated magnetic field expels the particles from the engine, providing continuous ...
