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)
