Аннотация
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Consuming long-range interplanetary medium as a fuel for driving plasma thrust is crucial. The methods of capturing the space environment depending on its density and the ship velocity are critical issues. The possible ways of creating ionization for neutral fluxes as a function of the solar radiation flux are also analyzed as a potential propellant. These processes define the permissible type of the plasma source. These options look extremely promising where a low thrust device continuously operating, could possibly deliver a celestial target close to the speed of light. Under such conditions at a considerable distance, the density of such material diminishes and it may be impossible to maintain a continuous operation mode of the plasma thruster but instead operate as a pulsed engine which might potentially be workable.
