Propulsion is a critical subsystem of many spacecraft1-4. For efficient propellant usage, electric propulsion systems based on the electrostatic acceleration ions formed during electron impact ionization gas are particularly attractive5,6. At present, xenon used almost exclusively as an ionizable for space propulsion2-5. However, rare, it must be stored under high pressure and commercial production expensive7-9. Here we demonstrate system that uses iodine present in-orbit results this new...
