How does this compare to the ion motor we had on AO-40? Also, is there an English translation anywhere? I get the general idea looking at the pictures, but the details escape me.
Thanks,
Greg KO6TH

HI
Here is a link explaining the ionic motor propulsion system with a nice animation (in French) the SMART-1 first lunar European space probe will crash on the moon on September 3 at 0541 UTC.
Could be usable for our HEO fleet? It seems pretty simple at the first look.
