Near Future Propulsion is a mod for Kerbal Space Program that exists to provide additional options for those interested in electric propulsion for their spacecraft needs. It is well-balanced for use in stock games or paired with synergistic mods, such as those that provide additional power generation options.

Core Features

• More Gridded Thrusters: Just like the stock Dawn, running on Xenon fuel and delivering lots of specific impulse
• Hall Effect Thrusters: Similar to gridded thrusters, HETs tend to have lower specific impulse but higher thrust
• Pulsed Inductive Thrusters: Specialized engines that can use additional power to boost their specific impulse
• Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters: High power-use, high thrust electric engines
• VASIMR Thrusters: Specialized thrusters that can use multiple fuel types, and use a slider to increase thrust at the cost of specific impulses.
• Argon Fuel: A new fuel type - cheaper than Xenon and used in different engines
• Lithium Fuel: Another new fuel type - an electric engine propellant that can be mined from Ore
• Xenon Fuel tanks: more Xenon fuel tanks with large capacities
• ISRU Systems: an atmosphere scanner and harvester to collect Argon and Xenon.

Useful Companion Mods

• Near Future Electrical: Adds nuclear reactors which are great at supplying large amounts of power
• Near Future Solar: Adds more solar panel options, from compact to very large sizes.
