Analysis on the working mode of electric propulsion system

At present, the electromagnetic propulsion technology and the electrostatic propulsion technology are more mature than before. With the increase of available power on the spacecraft, the performance can be better improved. This paper mainly reviews the electric propulsion technology for long-term space travel. It can be concluded that, compared to traditional chemical rocket systems, electric propulsion systems are more suitable for long-term space missions and have the ability to transport relatively heavy objects in space.
