Characteristic parameters of several advanced electric propulsion systems are evaluated and compared. The propulsion systems studied are mass driver, rail gun, argon MPD thruster, hydrogen free radical thruster, and mercury electron bombardment ion engine. Overall, ion engines have somewhat better characteristics than the other electric propulsion systems.
