Lithium-Fed Magnetoplasmadynamic Thruster Development
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Los Angeles, California, United States
Source: SpaceWar.com
A prototype lithium-fed magnetoplasmadynamic thruster was tested at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, achieving power levels up to 120 kilowatts, marking progress toward nuclear electric propulsion systems for human Mars missions. The test demonstrated the thruster's capability and set the stage for scaling up to megawatt-class power levels needed for crewed Mars flights.
