Immediate applications will be limited to attitude control and trajectory correction using auxiliary power supplies, such as batteries, solar cells, solar thermionic and thermoelectric systems, and earlier Snap systems; comparison of specific weights and power levels of some present and future space power sources; it is concluded that turboelectric, thermionic, and MHD power conversion all show promise of achieving performance required for advanced electric-propulsion missions.
