   Linked via "hall-effect thrusters"

   Electric propulsion systems, such as ion thrusters and magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thrusters-thrusters/), achieve high $\text{I}_{sp}$ by accelerating propellant (often inert gases like Xenon or Argon) using electromagnetic fields rather than thermal expansion. This results in lower thrust output but significantly greater fuel efficiency for long-duration missions.
   A key parameter in electric propulsion design is th…
