Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to an ion thruster for propulsion of spacecrafts, including: a reservoir for a propellant, an emitter for emitting ions- of the propellant, the emitter having one or more projections of porous material and a base with a first side supporting said projections and a second side connected to the reservoir, and an extractor facing the emitter for extracting and accelerating the ions from the emitter, wherein the base is impermeable to the propellant at least on said first side and has pores or channels for providing flow of propellant from the reservoir to said projections.
