When operated in space[edit]
Article doesn't seem to say if this is a theoretical proposal, or had been tested or used in space. They are now used in space (see https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Momentus_launches_Vigoride_Orbital_Service_Vehicle_on_Transporter_6_Mission_999.html ) but are there earlier uses. - Rod57 (talk) 01:08, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Have now been used for orbit raising. 140 minutes of operation, using water as propellant. (https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Momentus_achieves_first_orbit_raise_with_pioneering_propulsion_system_999.html ) - Rod57 (talk) 12:24, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Should give specific examples or ranges of parameters[edit]
Should give specific examples or ranges of parameters such as specific impulse, thrust, electrical power, thruster mass, propellant material. Ideally a table of flown models and some prototypes or proposals - with columns for the listed parameters. - Then we can compare them with other electrical thrusters. One using water has flown. - Rod57 (talk) 01:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
