Small-Body and Heliophysics Missions using Hybrid Low-Thrust Propulsion

Throughout the history of spaceflight, new missions and capabilities have been enabled by the development of increasingly efficient and powerful propulsion systems. However, all of these systems, from the earliest chemical engines to modern electric thrusters, require propellant, thereby reducing th...
