new research presents the basics of plasma discharges applied to electric spacecraft propulsion, such as the mature and flown technologies of gridded ion thrusters and hall thrusters. Before exploring the recent yet immature technologies of plasma thrusters based on expansion from low pressure, high density inductive lee coupled and wave excited plasma sources. For example, the radio frequency Helicon source prototype development of plasma engines has been suggested for future space travel. Using the example of the Helicon double layer thruster, electric propulsion based space missions give some insight into the challenges of future high power missions in more remote regions of space.
