  • Abstract
    In the past 20 years, electrical methods of propelling space vehicles have developed from the speculative stage to practical reality. While it is inconceivable that electric thrustors could be used as rocket launchers, once in orbit electric propulsion is particularly suited to missions where a source of electric power is also required for some other function.
