An electric thrust subsystem technology development program to demonstrate the readiness of primary electric propulsion for flight applications is described. The development program is based on a subsystem design sufficiently flexible to be applicable to a broad range of mission requirements with minimum impact on the subsystem elements or interface designs. The effort includes development and qualification testing of new subsystem elements, the assembly and test of subsystem models to verify the physical and functional interfaces of the subsystem with other spacecraft subsystems, and the investigation of the effects of thrust subsystem operation on all aspects of spacecraft performance. The present status of this effort and some of the results so far obtained are presented.
