Frequently Asked Questions FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ION PROPULSION 1. What is ion propulsion Ion propulsion is a technology that involves ionizing a gas to propel a craft. Instead of a spacecraft being propelled with standard chemicals, the gas xenon (which is like neon or helium, but heavier) is given an electrical charge, or ionized. It is then electrically accelerated to a speed of ...
