Due to limited electric power the thrust is much weaker compared to chemical rockets, but electric propulsion can provide thrust for a longer time. [2] Electric propulsion was first demonstrated in the 1960s and is now a mature and widely used technology on spacecraft. American and Russian satellites have used electric propulsion for decades.

"Reach for the Stars" was written in February 2011, after NASA asked will.i.am to write and produce a song for the Curiosity rover's landing on Mars. The songwriter said that the experience with NASA administrator Charles Bolden discussing the possibility of broadcasting a song from Mars was "surreal", The song is part of NASA's educational outreach, with will.i.am stating that the song "aims ...

Plasma properties change rapidly across this boundary, which is known as a current-free electric double layer. The electrical potential is much higher inside the source region than in the exhaust and this serves both to confine most of the electrons and to accelerate the ions away from the source region.
NASA and the U.S. military plan to test a nuclear-powered rocket engine in space as early as 2027, potentially revolutionizing how people travel the cosmos in the coming decades.The two agencies ...

The dance-floor icon Eddy Grant's 2020 copyright suit against Donald Trump is hitting a courtroom Friday. Trump's side is set to argue Grant never copyrighted the master for his 1983 hit "Electric ...
MagBeam is the name given to an ion propulsion system for space travel initially proposed by Professor Robert Winglee [1] of the Earth and Space Sciences Department at the University of Washington for the October 2004 meeting of the NIAC. [2]
