Charged Particle Electrostatic Thrusters.

Abstract

This program was directed toward the demonstration of long-term efficient electrostatic engine operation in the 1000-second specific impulse range. The state of the art in this performance range has been advanced to where practical flight system design is feasible. (Author)
