Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUnveiling the Future: A Survey of Electric Propulsion Systems and their Pivotal Role in Shaping the Next Frontier of Space ExplorationJinadu Abdulbaqi, Okikijesu Omolona Olajide, Ayodeji Tunde AkangbeElectric propulsion represents the future of space travel, which is a promising technology for Earth-orbital and deep space missions, including potential applications in human Mars missions. The past decade has witnessed substantial progress in the conceptualization and experimentation of electric thrusters and their propellants, signaling a transformative era in space exploration. This review provides an overview of the comparison between … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2024 · 6,851 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModern Propulsions for Aerospace-Part IIRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Speaking about a new engine ionic means to speak about a new aircraft. The paper presents in a short time the actual engines ion chambers (called the ion thrusters) and other new ionic motors proposed by the authors. The engine (ionic propulsion unit of ions, that accelerates the positive ions through a potential difference) is approximately ten times more efficient … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2017 · 8,122 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Method for Transmitting Spacecrafts in Space with Velocity of at Least 0.01 of the Light Speed Using Materials with Very High Kinetic Energy in High Electric FieldsMario Nady AiadMany space new missions are on calendar this decade for Moon, Mars and other planets. Some of these missions are depending on simple reliable chemical thrusters and others on the nonchemical advanced propulsion techniques. In most of nonchemical techniques a nuclear source of energy is necessary as in nuclear electric rockets where the maximum velocity produced is around 20 km/s. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2023 · 5,371 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModern Propulsions for Aerospace-A ReviewRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.A spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. There are several different methods, each with advantages and disadvantages, spacecraft propulsion being an active area of research. However, most current spacecraft are propelled by forcing a gas exits through the rear of the vehicle at high speed through supersonic nozzle of a rocket engine. All spacecraft … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2017 · 12,889 accessesView PDF Cite
