Russian Scientists Unveil Plasma Engine That Could Reach Mars in 30 Days
Russian scientists at Rosatom’s Troitsk Institute have unveiled a ground breaking plasma electric engine prototype capable of drastically reducing travel time to Mars to just 30 to 60 days. Unlike traditional chemical rockets that rely on combustion, this engine employs electromagnetic fields to accelerate charged hydrogen ions to speeds of up to 100 km/s (360,000 km/h), far surpassing the 4.5 km
