The article examines several aspects of electric propulsion. It is shown that because the process and rate of energy transfer in electric systems are quite different from those of chemical propulsion systems, performance and orbit mechanics are intimately related. Attention is given to the several discrete subelements of an electric primary propulsion system, showing that while they have straightforward operating principles, they present challenges in implementation as working hardware. Finally, discussion covers applications which include a range of interplanetary and near-earth missions.
