Aerojet Rocketdyne is scheduled to deliver plans to NASA in August for a solar electrical propulsion thruster that could propel the planned moon-orbiting Deep Space Gateway as a precursor to a human mission to Mars. NASA hires Aerojet Rocketdyne to build the Advanced Electric Propulsion System thruster by 2019 for future NASA space missions, and the technology might have applications for commercial satellites as well.
