Satellites Powered by Water? The Revolutionary Propellant Changing Spaceflight

Water propulsion for satellites can use steam propulsion (resistojet), electrolysis to hydrogen and oxygen for combustion, or water-plasma/ion thrusters for high-ISP propulsion. Momentus Space’s Vigoride uses a Microwave Electrothermal Thruster (MET) that microwaves water with solar power to boil it into plasma
