Thus, for a situation where we wish to fix the thrust at a constant value, as specific impulse increases, the jet power must also increase. . © . Microsoft Encarta. Rocket Propulsion.

Creating Propulsion. First, one must cool electromagnets to very low temperatures. In the nanoseconds after applying electricity to them, the electromagnets will begin to vibrate. Star Wars. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. Star Wars is a movie produced by Lucas Films Ltd. If you are wondering why I have a slide dedicated to Star wars, I am a huge nerd and love it. That and it is relevant to the subject of Ion Thrusters. The next slide will explain. Hopefully. If you believed Star Wars was scientifically accurate in most regards, you may want to rethink the beliefs you hold about it. There is nothing else important being written here. Props if you kept reading it though. More props if you actually managed to read fast enough to make it to this point in this rather unimportant part of text.. Mary Regina Martin, Robert A.
