List of spacecraft with electric propulsion

Last updated

In chronological order, this is a partial list spacecrafts that are equipped with electric space propulsion. This includes both cruise engines and/or thrusters for altitude and orbit control. It is not specified whether the given engine is the sole means of propulsion or whether other types of engine are also used on a spacecraft. The list does not claim to be comprehensive.
