Power Processing Unit Activities in Airbus DS Space Equipments
E3S Web of Conferences, 2017 This paper presents the Power Processing Units in Airbus DS Space Equipment. Electric propulsion has (EP) become a reality in the commercial market, and therefore is not anymore a niche market for earth observation and/or deep space missions.

Optimal Trajectories for Near-Earth-Objects Using Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) and Gravity Assisted Maneuver [PDF]
, 2009 The future interplanetary missions will probably use the conventional chemical rockets to leave the sphere of influence of the Earth, and solar electric propulsion (SEP) to accomplish the other maneuvers of the mission.

Application of iodine plasma for electric propulsion
Авіаційно-космічна техніка та технологіяMost state-of-the-art electric space propulsion systems, such as gridded and Hall effect thrusters, use xenon as the propellant gas. However, xenon is very rare and expensive to produce, and it is used in a number of competing industrial applications ...
