    A phased array of ground-based lasers would then focus a light beam on the sails of these spacecraft to accelerate them one by one to the target speed within 10 minutes, with an average acceleration on the order of 100 km/s 2 (10,000 ɡ), and an illumination energy on the order of 1 TJ delivered to each sail. A preliminary sail model is ...

    Space Shuttle Atlantis takes flight on the STS-27 mission on December 2, 1988. The Shuttle took about 8.5 minutes to accelerate to a speed of over 27,000 km/h (17000 mph) and achieve orbit. A drag chute is deployed by Endeavour as it completes a mission of almost 17 days in space on Runway 22 at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California ...

    The mission is cost-capped at US$564 million, excluding cost for the launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida. [11] As of April 2020, the preliminary total cost of the mission is estimated to be US$707.7 million to US$776.3 million. [1]

    This mission would be the first privately funded deep space mission. [19] It would study the content of the plumes ejecting from Enceladus's warm ocean through its southern ice crust. [ 20 ] Enceladus's ice crust is thought to be around two to five kilometers thick, [ 21 ] and a probe could use an ice-penetrating radar to constrain its structure.

  8. NEXT (ion thruster) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEXT_(ion_thruster)

    The NEXT thruster has demonstrated, in ground tests, a total impulse of 17 MN·s; which as of 2010 was the highest total impulse ever demonstrated by an ion thruster. [2] A beam extraction area 1.6 times that of NSTAR allows higher thruster input power while maintaining low voltages and ion current densities, thus maintaining thruster longevity.
