ROCKET MOTOR OF THE FUTURE.—A physicist examines a full-scale model of an electrically-powered rocket motor. Like a sealed-up version of the electrongun found in all television tubes, this ion-gun ejects an intense beam of electricallycharged particles called ions to provide the thrust for propelling space vehicles. Speeds greater than 100,000 miles an hour are possible using this type of rocket.
