Abstract

A new concept in the development of plasma rocket engines is discussed. The development based on the results of many years of research on nuclear fusion and physics of hot plasma is implementing a concept with magnetic insulation of the plasma flow and electrodeless high-frequency methods for introducing energy into the plasma. The scheme is far superior to the traditional concepts of electrojet rocket engines in terms of its capabilities and prospects for the development.
