Ion thruster of NASA sets the world record

Hi friends!!!!

After a long period I am here with my new post!!!!

What is Ion thruster???



It has been also named the (Next) ion thruster ( NASA Evolutionary Xenon thruster ), in the project of ion thruster at Glenn Research center. The main aim was to build a Xenon thruster or we can say Ion thruster  three times more powerful then the NSTAR (NASA Solar Technology Application Readiness) is a space craft ion thruster and that was used in Dawn and deep space .

Information about  Next engine :-

It is a type of solar electric propulsion by which the electricity is used  with the help of energy generated by space craft and to increase  the xenon propulsion at the of speed of 90,000 mph (45,000 km/h). It can produce 6.9 KW thruster power and 236 mn thrust power. It can control the power up to 0.5 KW and also has the specific impulse of 4190 seconds .

According to last preceding 5 years test of  NASA new Ion thruster have set the new world record for the longest first single space  engine test  and with low fuel weight and long running capacity . This engine is meant  for deep space missions.

While traveling  miles over the space, it requires energy to keep moving the ion propulsion  engines. It can limit the size of fuel or (small size) with more scientific explosion in small packets . After this NEXT engine only consumes  860 kilo meters of fuel  in  comparison with  10,000 kilometers  a conventional rocket.

Particles are charged from NEXT engine, it catches  the speed of 90,000 miles  per/hr for the deal of deep space mission. In the part of solar electric propulsion (SEP) the NEXT engines and the Xenon with electrons for ionizing it and then it focuses to the back of engine creating a stream of ion jet also known as ion beam . It creates  thrust to move the spacecraft.  

thank-you all
