Russian scientists at Rosatom are developing a groundbreaking plasma electric rocket engine that could slash travel time to Mars to just 30-60 days. Unlike traditional rockets, which burn fuel for thrust, this innovative system accelerates charged particles to a staggering 62 miles per second. Currently in testing, the rocket will initially use conventional chemical propulsion for launch, then switch to electric once in orbit. As nations like NASA and SpaceX also pursue faster Mars missions, the race to leave our footprints on the Red Planet is heating up.
