Return to Question

Made title less ambigious, cleaned up spelling & capitalization, added paragraph break, explained the "duration-mass" thing better, got rid of "propeller".

In search of "The Thruster" What are the most effective deep-space propulsion systems?

I am looking for a powerful propellerpropulsion system for deep space missions. I am between a powerful ionic motor or a VASIMIR (variable specific impulse magnetoplasm motor). What do you think? theThe idea would be to go from LEO to Titan (saturnSaturn moon) the. The duration of the mission should not exceed 8 years, 8 years it.

It took the Cassini probe 8 years to land Huygens on Titan, but I neededneed to land something much smaller, so The weight I save I hope to gain in durationhave a faster mission with my less massive payload. what dou you recommend? I have to land a load of 15 to 35 kilograms. What doudo you recommend? Is there anya more viable alternative?
