From: daellis94@gmail.com Actually, on the note of VASIMR, because under certain circumstances I would want to be able to trade a considerable amount of exhaust velocity in order to increase thrust, such as during combat when I would want to use my RCS thrusters to aid attitude changes as quickly as possible, does anyone know if VASIMR-style thrusters are capable of functioning with an Isp as low as, say, 600 seconds? --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
