These electric propulsion systems accelerate spacecraft to extremely high speeds over time using only a fraction of the fuel chemical propulsion systems require, making electric propulsion an excellent choice for deep-space exploration and science missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three AEPS thrusters will be mounted on the Power and Propulsion Element, a foundational component of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/gateway\">Gateway<\/a>. The small lunar space station is critical to the agency\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/specials\/artemis\/\">Artemis missions<\/a> that will help prepare for human missions to Mars.
