Helicon Thrusters

Helicon Thruster is a type of electrodeless plasma propulsion device that generates and accelerates a high-density plasma via radio frequency waves in a magnetic field, distinguishing it from other electric thrusters through its use of helicon wave resonance for efficient ionization and thrust production.
