Electrostatic propulsion fundamentals; present status of 3 types of thrustor -- contact engine in which cesium is used as propellant, electron bombardment engine in which mercury is used, and colloidal particle engine, which is less advanced, but offers distinct promise for high efficiency in low specific impulse region; future contingencies.
