Russian nuclear research agency Rosatom has developed a new plasma electric rocket engine.
It uses a magnetic plasma accelerator to speed up charged particles, creating thrust without the need for combustion.
This method allows the engine to push particles at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per second ( 62 miles per second) Traditional rockets burn fuel to create thrust, but the plasma engine uses electricity to move the particles.
This process is different from traditional rockets, which rely on burning fuel to produce thrust.
The engine is designed to work at 300 kilowatts and can produce a thrust of 6 Newtons.
It is now undergoing further tests at the Troitsk Institute in Moscow .
