Survey of efforts made and summary of present status leading to following conclusions -- arcjet is not interesting for space propulsion having specific impulse of only about 1500 sec at best; more effort should be devoted to light weight, dependable space power systems than to accelerators; Brayton cycle should be reexamined as potential power source for electric-propulsion systems.
