Electrothermal propulsion; Electric propulsion; Electrically-powered spacecraft propulsion; Electropropulsion; Electric rocket; Electrical propulsion; Electrical propulsion system; Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion
Spacecraft electric propulsion (or just electric propulsion) is a type of spacecraft propulsion technique that uses electrostatic or electromagnetic fields to accelerate mass to high speed and thus generate thrust to modify the velocity of a spacecraft in orbit. The propulsion system is controlled by power electronics.
