A a scientist believes that rocket engine being designed to Power future spaceships could be put to much earlier use guiding satellites on reconnaissance missions around the Globe. Alfred Kunen manager of the plasma propulsion project a Republic aviation corp said the Low thrust lightweight engine Lising electrically excited hot Gasse s As fuel could Power and steer satellites after they have obtained orbit. Stay aloft longer he said such engines also could prevent satellites from tumbling end Over end during orbit and keep them aloft longer by com bating the drag Force of particles found in outer space. Plasma engines now under development Are designed to Power ships through space after they have been hurled into o r b i t by High thrust heavyweight chemical  plasma engine supplies Only � Low amount of thrust but this Energy is cumulative and would gradually increase the Speed of the vehicle. New plasma Engin Kunen s firm is developing a magnetic Pinch plasma engine that uses a hot Gas for fuel. An electrical current it shot into the engine s Gas compression chamber. This charge converts the Gasinto plasma by breaking the mole Cules. Down into electrons and positively charged atomic particle called ions. The electrical current the passes around the plasma setting up a magnetic Field that pinches it into a tiny area. The electrical current accelerates and shoots the plasma through a nozzle but the rear at tremendous velocities. Wreckage identified As part of us bomber.
