Developments in powder metallurgy and ion optical techniques at Electro-Optical Systems, Inc are keys to contact ion engine some 300% more efficient than previous flight models; increase in efficiency and reduction in size results from radical ionizer design, called "sastrugi" because of its resemblance to windswept snowfield; (term derives from Russian word "zastruga", which means groove); sastrugi design and experiment details.
