A new concept for an electric propulsion system is presented which combines small physical size with high current densities to produce usable propulsion for satellite docking, remote manipulation of satellites and sensitive payloads, station keeping, space tug or orbital transfer (OTV) and for a transatmospheric vehicle (TAV) which is gyro-stabil8ized. The design has evolved over the past five years to its present state. The concept is described and placed into perspective with state of the art MPD and electric propulsion devices.
