Who do we expect to put in proposal especially for Exploration Augmentation Module (EAM) https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/eps/eps_data/163051-SOL-001-001.pdf Who do you think will win and why?
With MSNW it could be the EM plasmoid or ELF thruster, or even the Fusion Powered Rocket. http://msnwllc.com/space-propulsion
There will be a more complete NASA press-release coming out in the near future, but I can mention some of the highlights. MSNW is really excited to be a part of the NextStep BAA, this is the scale where pulsed electromagnetic thrusters are a good fit. This work will be a development and test of the ELF-250, a 100 kW-class EP thruster and PPU (300+ kW system) aiming for Mars cargo missions. I think its time to find a bigger power supply . . .
