A space propulsion system includes an electrostatic thruster with a first electrical load; a resistojet; a propellant fluid feed circuit; and an electrical power supply circuit including a first power supply line and a first switch for selecting between connecting the first power supply line to the resistojet and connecting the first power supply line to the first electrical load of the electrostatic thruster. The propulsion system thus enables a space propulsion method to be applied that includes a switching step for selecting a first propulsion mode in which the resistojet is activated, or a second propulsion mode in which the electrostatic thruster is activated.
