Plasma Ben's video: Earth escape trajectory from LEO Code name: BravoSat

Earth-escape trajectory for BravoSat mission using 200 W thrust maneuvers over 10 minutes at perigee (energetically feasible given other spacecraft parameters), exploiting the passive magnetic stabilization scheme resulting from the engine's permanent magnets. BravoSat starts in a 500 km by 1500 km polar orbit and escapes Earth in under 3 years with less than 1 kg of fuel (2.5 kg dry mass). STK simulations and videos produced by: S.
