The state of the art and projected developmental trends in the fields of ion and electrothermal propulsion systems intended for use in long and complex earth-orbital missions and interplanetary spacecraft missions are reviewed. The characteristics of existing thrust vectoring systems are outlined, together with data on the 5-cm and 8-cm electron bombardment thrusters, the cesium bombardment ion thruster, and the 8-cm, 15-cm, and 30-cm thruster using xenon propellant. The electrothermal ammonia system and the electrothermal hydrazine system are described, and the principles of propulsion system selection are examined.
