A new way of interplanetary transport

Up to now interplanetary travel has virtually been unimaginable, mainly due to the great distance. The present study introduces a radically new ion thruster construction, in which the energy required by the ionisation can be radically lowered; furthermore the propellant used in this solution provides a significantly higher propellant speed. The possibility of using much more efficient electric energy sources will also be introduced, along with the possibility of another type of propulsion in accordance to the varying characteristics of different interplanetary journeys.
