Dual-Stage 4-Grid (DS4G) thruster

The Dual-Stage 4-Grid (DS4G) is an electrostatic ion thruster design developed by the European Space Agency, in collaboration with the Australian National University.

The design was derived from Controlled Thermonuclear Reactor experiments that use a 4-grid mechanism to accelerate ion beams.
