In conclusion, once we have all of
this data we can compare to the NASA Dawn and see if we’ve made an improvement
or if we have deteriorated the efficiency of the craft. Improving on the
efficiency of ion propulsion has been a tremendous challenge. In the future the
engine it’s self will likely have to be redesigned in order to maintain low fuel
usage while increasing the power.
