How does propulsion work?
What are the types of rocket propulsion?
There are several types of rocket propulsion systems: Type Uses Advantages Disadvantages Solid fuel chemical propulsion main booster simple, reliable, few moving parts, lots of thrust not restartable Liquid fuel chemical propulsion main booster, small control restartable, controllable, lots of thrust complex Cold-gas chemical propulsion small control restartable, controllable low thrust Ion in space booster restartable, controllable, high specific impulse complex The solid motor is used mainly as a booster for launch vehicles. Solid motors are almost never used in space because they are not controllable. The boosters are lit and then they fire until all the propellant has burned. Their main benefits are simplicity, a shelf life which can extend to years as in the case of missiles, and high reliability. Liquid motors come in many shapes and sizes: Most of them are controllable (can be throttled up and down), restartable, are often used as control and maneuvering thrusters. Liquid thrusters can be broken into three main types: monopropellant, bipropellant, and cryogenic thrusters. Monopropellants only use one propellant such as hydrazine. Bipropellants use a fuel and an oxidizer such as RP-1 and H O . Cryogenic systems use liquefied gases such as LiH and LOX (liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen). Cryogenic means super-cooled. You would have to super-cool hydrogen and oxygen to make them liquids. With each step from monopropellant to bipropellant to cryogenic the thruster complexity goes up but the performance also goes up.

Why ion propulsion?
Could NASA use Ion Propulsion to put a ship into space?
No, NASA could not use ion propulsion for getting spacecraft into space. Ion propulsion is a great technology to move ships once they are in space, and it is especially good for very long journeys. But it can't get a ship into space. The reason for this is that while the specific impulse for ion propulsion is high, it gives is low amounts of thrust. A high specific impulse means that the gases shooting out of the back of the rocket are moving at a very high speed but the low thrust means that there is not a lot of gas moving at any one time. The DS1 ion propulsion engine only produces 92 mN (milli Newtons) of thrust which is roughly equivalent to the weight of a couple drops of water. This means that the ion propulsion thruster is pushing the spacecraft forward with about as much force as gravity is pushing a couple drops of water down on your hand. We use ion propulsion in space because it does not take a lot of fuel. On a long trip this is good, because the more fuel a space ship needs, the heavier the ship will be and the harder and more expensive it will be to put the ship into space. However, in order to get a space ship into space, the ship must overcome the Earth's gravity and the resistance of the atmosphere. Getting to the right speed for this (called escape velocity) takes a huge amount of thrust, much more than an ion propulsion can produce. Conventional propulsion systems, such as liquid and solid fuel boosters, are used to put a ship into space.

52. Theory For Gravitic Propulsion

Theory for Gravitic Propulsion
(In Progress)
Revised and updated July 16, 2002
Universe Today
- Space news from around the Internet, updated every weekday. PhysLINK.com Forward I would like to begin by informing the reader that I am not a physicist, I am an electronics design technologist. I have been researching electroluminescence since 1993, which resulted in my curiosity regarding the nature of photons (electromagnetic energy) and their interactions with electronic devices (matter).
I would also like to qualify the title of this article. I did not entitle it " The Theory of Gravitic Propulsion" because it is not yet a complete theory, it is a new way of understanding our universe of matter and energy, based somewhat loosely upon some of the concepts outlined by Albert Einstein.
The main focus of this article is the result of many years of thought and readings on the nature of energy, matter and gravity (which I refer to as matter's "gravitic effect" in space-time). It is my intent in this article to contrive a description of physical reality that binds and accounts for these "components" of our universe, while attempting to maintain compatibility with existing theories and knowns. In 1996, Dr. Miguel Alcubierre Moya, a physicist currently working (2001) at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, published a paper which demonstrates mathematically that the type of propulsion system I propose here is possible with certain limitations and apparent energy supply problems, which I believe will be solved as the true nature of physical reality becomes more fully understood. Unfortunately, I did not hear about or read his paper until 2001, 2 years after I first published this article and 5 years after his paper became available. I was surprised to discover that we both came to some of the same conclusions regarding the implementation of this as yet undeveloped technology. I respectfully acknowledge Dr. Alcubierre's work and thank him for his contribution to this new branch of physics I refer to as "Gravitics".

http://www.braeunig.us/space/propuls.htm
ROCKET PROPULSION Isaac Newton stated in his third law of motion that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." It is upon this principle that a rocket operates. Propellants are combined in a combustion chamber where they chemically react to form hot gases which are then accelerated and ejected at high velocity through a nozzle, thereby imparting momentum to the engine. The thrust force of a rocket motor is the reaction experienced by the motor structure due to ejection of the high velocity matter. This is the same phenomenon which pushes a garden hose backward as water flows from the nozzle, or makes a gun recoil when fired. Thrust Thrust is the force that propels a rocket or spacecraft and is measured in pounds, kilograms or Newtons. Physically speaking, it is the result of pressure which is exerted on the wall of the combustion chamber. Figure 1.1 shows a combustion chamber with an opening, the nozzle, through which gas can escape. The pressure distribution within the chamber is asymmetric; that is, inside the chamber the pressure varies little, but near the nozzle it decreases somewhat. The force due to gas pressure on the bottom of the chamber is not compensated for from the outside. The resultant force F due to the internal and external pressure difference, the thrust, is opposite to the direction of the gas jet. It pushes the chamber upwards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
ION PROPULSION
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 about 30 km/second. When xenon ions are emitted at such high speed as exhaust from a spacecraft, they push the spacecraft in the opposite direction. What implications does this technology have for space exploration?
If DS1 shows that electric propulsion works as well as is expected, there will be many new missions that will take advantage of it. Deep Space 4 is expected to use four ion engines to fly alongside a comet in 2004 so that it can land. Ion propulsion is not of value for missions that require high acceleration, and it often will not be worthwhile for missions that can be done quickly using conventional propulsion systems (such as missions to the moon). But for a wide variety of missions with high energy requirements (such as missions to asteroids and comets, Mercury and the inner solar system, and some to the outer solar system), the low but steady acceleration of ion propulsion wins out over the less efficient bursts from chemical alternatives.
Why has NASA not used this technology before?
