European Space Agency Missions with Electric Propulsion The use of Electric Propulsion (EP) to perform orbit raising maneuvers will allow Satellite operators to save hundreds of kilos of propellants allowing very low cost in launchers. New, advanced space missions will require sophisticated propulsion systems to reach e.g. planets such as Mars or Venus. ESA is currently involved in activities related to spacecraft electric propulsion, including basic research as well as flight control of the...
