Endurance testing of the additively manufactured STAR resistojet
Materials & Design, 2019 This paper reports the outcome of endurance tests performed on a proof-of-concept design of a high-temperature resistojet thruster. A high-performance resistojet could enable a fully all-electric spacecraft architecture providing all propulsion system ...

Bare Tethers for Electrodynamic Spacecraft Propulsion
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 2000 Electrodynamic tether thrusters can use the power provided by solar panels to drive a current in the tether and then the Lorentz force to push against the Earth's magnetic field, thereby achieving propulsion without the expenditure of onboard energy sources or propellant.
