This is reported by Ars Technica.

As noted, the rocket in the future will be able to transport cargo to the Moon or Mars, as well as travel through the expanses of the Solar System.

In addition, it will heat neon or argon to high temperatures by means of magnetic fields. At the same time, the heated plasma will be fired from the rocket at high speed, thereby providing a movement.

According to the publication, this engine can be used only in zero gravity, that is, either from a low-Earth orbit, or as the last stage of a rocket.

Thus, this engine needs less fuel, which means that the rocket can transport more cargo.

By the way, on full traction plasma rockets can reach Jupiter, Saturn in about a year or two. In this regard, the number of expeditions of the solar system in the future will increase significantly.
