NASA’s Lithium-Plasma Thruster Hits 120 Kilowatts in Propulsion Test
Key Takeaways
- NASA tested a lithium-vapor electric thruster at 120 kilowatts.
- The system could support faster, more fuel-efficient deep-space travel if scaled up.
- Future human Mars missions would require power levels far beyond today’s test, but this is a key step.
