A Novel Cost Effective and Safer Plasma Based Propulsion System

This research introduces a novel, cost-effective, and safer plasma-based propulsion system designed to revolutionize space travel and satellite mobility. Unlike traditional chemical or ion thrusters, this system utilizes inert gases such as argon or nitrogen, eliminating the risks associated with hazardous fuels while significantly reducing costs and environmental impact.The propulsion mechanism employs electromagnetic acceleration to ionize and propel plasma, enabling efficient, scalable, and sustainable thrust generation for various applications. This modular system is adaptable for CubeSats, satellite station-keeping, deep-space exploration, space debris removal, and in-orbit servicing.By addressing the high costs, safety concerns, and scalability challenges of existing propulsion technologies, this plasma-based system offers a viable alternative for both commercial and governmental space missions. Its integration could play a key role in the future of affordable and sustainable space exploration.For inquiries, collaborations, or further discussions, please contact:<br>📩 Matthew J.
