ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Jan. 25 (TNSres) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release on Jan. 24, 2023:
It was believed that Hall thrusters, an efficient kind of electric propulsion widely used in orbit, need to be large to produce a lot of thrust. Now, a new study from the University of Michigan suggests that smaller Hall thrusters can generate much more thrust-potentially making them candidates for interplanetary missions.
