taps teams to develop next-generation ion engine system - Marshall Center Space News Release 02-162 (06-28-02)

http://www.msfc.nasa.gov/news/news/releases/2002/02-162.html

For release: 06/28/02 Release #: 02-162 NASA taps teams to develop next-generation ion engine system NASA has announced its selection of teams to develop an advanced ion propulsion system and ion engine component technologies — promising a new alternative to conventional chemical propulsion that could revolutionize the way we send science missions into the solar system. The Marshall Center will administer the new contract awards. NASA's Office of Space Science in Washington today announced the selection of a team for the development of an advanced ion propulsion system — an alternative to conventional chemical propulsion that could revolutionize the way we send science missions into the solar system.
