Question: What is one major drawback to using electric rocket engines? they control their orbit they are heavy they create thrust using nuclear material they use an electric current
Asked by javier49
One major drawback to using electric rocket engines is that they generate comparatively low thrust. This means they can take a significantly long time to accelerate a spacecraft to its required speed, which makes them unsuitable for some space missions, particularly those that require quick acceleration like manned missions or those needing to escape a planet's gravitational pull.
