Russia Will Reach Mars With This Amazing Rocket Engine.
After the recent announcement by Roscosmos about testing a new ion engine, the Martian race is taking on a completely unique look. The situation can be described something like this:
Everyone wants to go to Mars, only in different ways. More precisely, each participant in the Martian race - Russia, Elon Musk, NASA and China - sees interplanetary travel differently.
The tactics of the flight to Mars of the main Martian among earthlings, Elon Musk, is simple and understandable: first, StarShip is launched into low-earth orbit. A tanker is sent into space to refuel the ship. After replenishing fuel supplies, the mission is sent directly to Mars.
Roscosmos and the Chinese National Space Administration (CNCA) see this process differently. The first stage, that is, going into orbit, differs little from the method of Elon Musk. But the movement of a spacecraft in open space, according to the Russians and the Chinese, should be provided by new ion engines. Which option is considered optimal?
