The invention relates to improving the propulsion of a HET, RIT or GIT engine during solar eclipses and comprises, before the solar eclipse: deactivating the thrust and then disconnecting the bus supplied with power by the solar panel (TDoff); decreasing the flow rate of the fluid (Db) feeding the temperature-maintaining plasma in the electron-emitting member for neutralising the ion beam; increasing the current (Ch) through the temperature-maintaining plasma supplied by the battery; at the end of the solar eclipse: increasing the flow rate of the fluid feeding the temperature-maintaining plasma; decreasing the current through the temperature-maintaining plasma; when the eclipse finishes: reconnecting the bus supplied with power by the solar panel and then reactivating the thrust.
