Plasma propulsion engine, computer artwork. A plasma propulsion engine is a type of ion thruster which uses plasma in some or all parts of the thrust generation process. Though far less powerful than conventional rocket engines, plasma engines are able to operate at higher efficiencies and for longer periods of time. They are therefore better suited for long-distance interplanetary space travel missions.
