The successful demonstration of ion propulsion on NASA's Deep Space 1 mission has stimulated substantial interest in the application of this technology to future solar system exploration missions.
Formation flying and microspacecraft constellation missions pose new propulsion requirements. Formationflying spacecraft, due to the tight positioning and pointing control requirements, may need thrust control within 1- 20 uN to an accuracy of 0.1 uN for LISA and ST-7, for example. Future missions may have extended thrust ranges into the sub - mN range. However, all do require high specific impulses (>500 sec) due to long required thruster firings.
