Rosatom has revealed a prototype of a magnetic plasma rocket engine capable of producing about 6 newtons of thrust with a specific impulse over 100 km/s. Operating at 300 kW in pulsed mode, this breakthrough technology could slash Mars travel times from nearly a year to just 30–60 days while using ten times less fuel than conventional systems. The prototype is set for trials inside a 14-meter vacuum chamber at Rosatom’s Troitsk facility, marking a major step toward next-generation space propulsion.
