On-board propulsion systems are required for all classes of space missions and usually represent a predominant fraction of the mass delivered to space by launch systems. Significant mission cost and performance benefits may, therefore, be gained via use of advanced on-board propulsion and strong international programs are in place to develop new technologies. The NASA Office of Space Access and Technology (OSAT) sponsors a program to identify, develop, and transfer on-board electric and low thrust chemical propulsion systems with potential for major impacts on the performance and competitiveness of U.S. space systems. The paper will briefly describe the overall content of the on-board propulsion program and then highlight some critical technologies with potentials for long term impacts.
