via Advances in Space Propulsion Journal A new experimental drive core from Jett Stellar Drives has wrecked their test ship on its first unsimulated test run. The star drive manufacturer has released only sparse details of their new product to the public, but the company claims that it will revolutionize space travel once it reaches technological maturity. Rumoured to be derived from salvaged Reaper technology, the new drive allegedly does not suffer from the electric charge build-up that necessitates contemporary starships to discharge regularly at stellar bodies to avoid systems and crew loss. Footage shot from a distance shows that the test ship attempted to power up and accelerate to super-luminal velocity, but a visible arc of static discharge aft of the ship signaled drive failure and the end of the test. A stream of excited element zero could be seen trailing behind the ship, emanating from cracks in the hull. Jett Stellar Drives' CEO addressed the shot footage, which did not originate from the company's own media corps: "Error is a natural part of the development cycle for new concepts. We witnessed one just now. Fortunately this was only a drone ship, so the damages are merely material. According to our simulations this should not have happened, but we haven’t yet determined whether it was due to a failure in construction or a failure in theory. The latter option is much more exciting, as it would indicate new mechanics unknown to our current understanding of physics." Market response to the test has remained mild so far, with a 1% decline to Jett Stellar Drives' value. No competitor saw their share prices rise in response.

As humanity pushes deeper into space, propulsion technologies have become a defining factor in the success and scalability of satellite operations and exploration missions.

Mars missions represent humanity’s ambition to explore and thrive beyond Earth. While significant challenges remain, advancements in propulsion systems, resource management, and international collaboration bring us closer to making interplanetary travel a reality. The journey to Mars is not just about reaching a new planet but expanding the boundaries of human potential.

Global Space Propulsion System Market generated $5.63 billion in 2018 and Space Propulsion System Industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.06% during 2018-2023.

Electric Propulsion (EP) is a class of space propulsion which makes use of electrical power to accelerate a propellant by different possible electrical and/or magnetic means.An electrically powered spacecraft propulsion system uses electrical energy to change the velocity of a spacecraft. Most of these kinds of spacecraft propulsion systems work by electrically expelling propellant at high speed The Asia-Pacific Electric Propulsion System market will reach xxx Million USD in 2018 and CAGR xx% 2018-2023.
