What is Electric Propulsion: Plasma & Ion Thrusters about?

This document provides an introduction to electric propulsion and plasma physics concepts relevant to ion spacecraft propulsion. It discusses how electric propulsion works by using electrical power to accelerate ions to high velocities, providing much higher specific velocities than chemical propulsion. However, electric propulsion is limited by available power and required thrust. Typical electric propulsion systems can provide thrust from 0.1 microNewtons to 200 milliNewtons with input power ranging from
