It is beginning to look like the space craft of the day our starting a new era. Instead of rocket engines the new satellites will have ION engines, the space craft Dawn has been in space 7 years travelling to the asteroid Vesta and is powered by an ION engine.
Other space craft have also been powered by ION engines and Boeing our now leading the way build ION Powered Craft. With the cost to weight ratio being so high this will save launch cost or enable more payload for the cost.
