High-power electric propulsion is a critical component of NASA s proposed missions to the outer planets. Mission studies have shown that high-power, high-specific-impulse propulsion systems can deliver 2000 kg of scientific payload to Pluto with trip times on the order of 10 years. Of greater significance is the ability of these propulsion systems to place this science payload in orbit around the planet, rather than making the fast fly-bys associated with traditional chemical propulsion systems. Significant ground test programs are required to develop the new technologies needed for thrusters operating at power levels exceeding 20 kW, an order of magnitude above the state of the art.
