Scientific paper

A comprehensive development status evaluation is presented for the field of electric propulsion. Specific impulses range from 500-800 sec for satellite stationkeeping and 800-1500 sec of earth-earth orbit-raising maneuvers to 2000-5000 sec for trajectories to Mars and as much as 5000-100,000 sec for trajectories to more distant destinations. The successful deployment of low-power arcjet systems for auxilliary propulsion has been critical to the development of designs for higher-performance devices.
