Spaceflight 🚀<p>In an <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/electrospray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electrospray</span></a> thruster, charged particles are pulled directly out of a liquid propellant using a strong electric field and accelerated using charged <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/electrodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electrodes</span></a> <a href="https://spacepropulsion.mit.edu/electric-propulsion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spacepropulsion.mit.edu/electr</span><span class="invisible">ic-propulsion</span></a></p><p><a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SpacecraftPropulsion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpacecraftPropulsion</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/ElectricPropulsion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricPropulsion</span></a></p>
