Electric Propulsion Fundamentals
2018Electric thrusters use the same principles as chemical rockets to propel spacecraft, however the ejected mass consists basically of charged particles. Furthermore, the acceleration of the propellant particles is not powered by the energy stored in the propellant, but rather by an external power source.

Electric Propulsion Development
The Aeronautical Journal, 1969Parts I and II of this series of papers have dealt with the development of ion thrusters for use in an orbit transfer manoeuvre, and of various types of micro thruster for position and attitude control. The present paper deals with the actual satellite electric propulsion system and configuration needed for expansion manoeuvres.
